6% The BP-100, Ca carbohydrate column requires only water as the mobile phase and can be used in the food industry for the separation of high fructose corn syrup, sweeteners in baked goods and sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, mannitol and xylitol which are often used as sweeteners in fruit juices, soft drinks, beer brewing and dairy products.

Part No: 1000-0
Eluent: DI H2O
Flow Rate: 0.4 ml/min
Detection: RI
Temperature: 90 C
Sample Size: 20 ul, 30 mg/ml
Column Size: 300 x 7.8 mm

Advantages:
Due to a higher MW exclusion limit than 8% polymers, columns packed with 6% polymer can separate larger carbohydrate molecules (up to DP6). 6% cross-link polymer gives superior selectivity for some mixtures of carbohydrate and organic acids compared to the 8% polymer.

Disadvantages:

Due to the lower cross-link compared to 8% polymer, the 6% polymer is more pressure sensitive and therefore has a lower flow rate threshold. For some samples with comparable resolution between the 6% and 8% columns, it makes sense to use the more durable 8% polymer for faster analysis times.

Benson Polymeric employs 6% cross-link beads in our BP-100 Column Series.
