New brochure about size exclusion chromatography
Tosoh Product Profile
Tosoh Bioscience presents a new brochure featuring the use of TSKgel columns for SEC with aqueous mobile phases, also known as gel filtration chromatography (GFC). The brochure comprises all aspects of SEC, starting with the fundamentals of SEC, characteristics of TSKgel SEC columns, and application examples for the different column types:
- Silica based TSKgel SW columns for protein analysis
- Polymeric TSKgel PW columns for analysis of water soluble synthetic polymers and polysaccharides
- TSKgel Alpha and SuperAW columns suitable for SEC with both, aqueous and organic eluents
Silica based TSKgel SW columns are the industry’s standard for the separation of proteins by aqueous SEC. TSKgel SuperSW columns have smaller diameters and are filled with smaller particles. Providing both, high sensitivity and high resolution, they are ideally suited for the QC of low dose biopharmaceuticals.
The brochure also features the latest additions to the polymer based SEC columns, such as the TSKgel PWXL-CP columns for the analysis of cationic polymers and the TSKgel SuperMultiporePW linear SEC columns, deigned to determine the size distribution of water soluble polymers, such as polyvinylpyrrolidones or dextrans.
The brochure supports users in selecting the appropriate column and gaining the best SEC performance.
The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
Metabolomics Analysis of Low Birth-Weight Infants Using UHPLC-MS/MS Following Lipid Emulsion
January 10th 2025A recent study aimed to directly compare the changes in serum metabolites among very low birth-rate (VLBW) infants following the administration of the soybean oil-based lipid emulsion and soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil (SMOF) lipid emulsion using untargeted metabolomics techniques.
