HPLC Columns

TSKgel UP-SW Aggregate

TSKgel UP-SW Aggregate, the latest addition to the UP-SW series of silica-based size exclusion chromatography (SEC) columns, are specifically designed to facilitate the analysis of mAb aggregates, high molecular weight (MW) proteins and nucleic acids. These columns are 3 µm, 30 nm pore size SEC analytical columns that have been designed with a higher exclusion limit than other TSKgel UP-SW columns.

Available in 4.6 mm ID, TSKgel UP-SW Aggregate columns are compatible with both UHPLC and HPLC systems and require less sample while delivering higher sensitivity compared to the 7.8 mm ID TSKgel UltraSW Aggregate column. These columns feature high pore volume per unit column volume, low sample adsorption (due to the derivatization of the particle surface with ligands containing diol functional groups) and excellent column efficiency, all contributing to unsurpassed sample resolution.
