SweetSep – The New Benchmark for Carbohydrate Analysis
- Rapid, reliable carbohydrate analysis
- Broad pH stability (1–14)
- Suitable for mono- to polysaccharides
SweetSep™ columns are packed with functionalized highly monodisperse resin particles, ensuring fast and superior separation of mono-, oligo-, and polysaccharides using PAD and/or MS detection. They are optimized for the analysis of a wide range of carbohydrates—from monosaccharides and tetrasaccharides to larger oligosaccharides such as fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and pectin hydrolysates —making them ideal for applications in prebiotics, food, and beverages.
Application areas
- Carbohydrates in F&B
- Lactose in lactose free labelled products
- Detection of artificial sweeteners
- Carbohydrate profiling in complex biomass hydrolysates
- Carbohydrates in clinical and diagnostic samples, including FDG
- Glycan and sialic acid analysis from glycoproteins
Stationary phases
The SweetSep columns are available in different chemistries, AEX18, AEX20 and AEX200. The main difference lies in the functionalization of the latex particle and the capacity.
