Dionex CarboPac SA10 carbohydrate analysis column

The CarboPac SA10 column has been specifically designed for the fast, high-resolution analysis of food and beverage carbohydrates. The column is composed of a macroporous substrate coated with a strong anion-exchange layer of latex nano beads which provide high capacity and rapid high-resolution separations.

Eight common mono- and disaccharides can be separated within seven minutes with minimal sample dilutions. The six most common food sugars can be separated quickly on the SA10 column in less than 10 minutes of separation time. The column has high reproducibility, and thousands of injection cycles under high pH conditions are possible.

The CarboPac family of columns provides good resolution and high sensitivity for accurate quantitative carbohydrate analysis. The high-performance anion-exchange columns, when used with pulsed amperometric detection (PAD) systems, permit the direct quantification of nonderivatised carbohydrates at low picomole levels with minimal sample preparation or clean-up.
