TSKgel® BioAssist DS Columns

TSKgel® BioAssist DS Desalting Columns

TSKgel® BioAssist DS columns are designed for the desalting and buffer exchange of proteins and polynucleotides at semi-preparative scale. Packed with 15 μm polyacrylamide beads in PEEK hardware, TSKgel® BioAssist DS columns show excellent desalting performance.

The novel* hydrophilic highly cross-linked polyacrylamide beads exhibit superior mechanical strength compared with conventional hydrophilic polyacrylamide beads and cross-linked dextran beads. This increase in strength is what allows the use of the small spherical 15 μm beads. TSKgel® BioAssist DS columns can be operated in standard HPLC systems to quickly and efficiently reduce salt and/or buffer concentrations of collected protein or nucleic acid fractions.
