TSKgel Alpha-5000

The TSKgel Alpha-5000 column is packed with rigid, porous, polymer beads which show minimal shrinkage or swelling in polar organic solvents (methanol, acetonitrile, DMSO, isopropanol, THF, and HFIP).  This column is stable in a wide variety of organic solvents at concentrations up to 100%.

The main application area for the TSKgel Alpha-5000 column is the analysis of polymers that are soluble in polar organic solvents up to 7 x 106 Da. Examples include cellulose derivatives, polyimide, and sodium dodecylsulfate (all in 10 mmol/L LiBr in DMF), cleansing gel in methanol, and degree of saponification of polyvinylalcohol in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP).
