The TSK-GEL Hhr column line consists of eight columns with different pore sizes, TSKgel G1000Hhr through TSKgel G7000Hhr, and five columns with an extended linear range of the calibration curve. The calibration curves are shown below.

Main characteristics
- Maximum operating temperature for Hhr-type columns is 140°C.
- Broad solvent range. All Hhr-type columns are shipped in THF, which can be exchanged for a wide variety of organic solvents as shown below.
- Hhr-type columns are conventional GPC columns with dimensions of 7.8mm ID x 30cm. Most HPLC systems do not require optimization of extra-column bandbroadening effects when working with conventional GPC columns.
Solvent compatibility for TSK-GEL Hhr (and SuperH) columns
The column shipping solvent limits the types of solvents that can be used with each column type.

|
acetone, ethanol, quinoline, benzene, o-dichlorobenzene, ethyl acetate, dodecane, FC-113, carbon tetrachloride5, dichloromethane, dichloroethane, trichloroethane, n-hexane, cyclohexane, xylene, tetrahydrofuran, chloroform, 1,4-dioxane, hexafluoroisopropanol, toluene, 1-chloronaphthalene, dimethylaceto acetamide, methyl ethyl ketone, trichlorobenzene, m-cresol, dimethylformamide, methylpyrrolidone, o-chlorophenol/chloroform, dimethyl sulfoxide, pyridine | |
Notes:
1) In case of SuperH and Hhr, see table below for appropriate flow rates for solvent exchange. After switching to a very polar solvent, switching to a nonpolar is not recommended.
2) All TSK-GEL Hxl, Hhr, SuperHZ and SuperH analytical columns are shipped containing tetrahydrofuran (THF), except High Temperature (HT) columns, which contain o-dichlorobenzene.
3) Prolonged exposure to carbon tetrachloride can corrode the stainless steel parts of a column and an HPLC system.
* 100% methanol cannot be used with H-type columns; use this solvent with TSK-GEL SW-type or Alpha-type columns.
** TSK-GEL H columns may be specially ordered with this shipping solvent.

Columns with linear calibration curves
The Hhr product line contains five linear, or mixed-bed columns, in which particles with different pore sizes are blended to provide an extended linear calibration curve. The mixe-bed columns feature increasing linear calibration ranges, from TSKgel GMHhr-L, GMHhr-N, GMHhr-M, to GMHhr-H. TSKgel GMHhr-H(S) HT is a high temeperature mixed bed column shipped in ODCB, o-dichlorobenzene.
