TSKgel® SW Columns

TSKgel® SW Columns for Protein Analysis

TSKgel® SW columns, introduced in 1977, have become synonymous with analyzing protein molar masses in the field of biotechnology.

TSKgel® SW columns are based on highly porous silica particles, the surface of which has been shielded from interacting with proteins by derivatization with ligands containing diol functional groups. TSKgel® SW columns stand out from other silica- or polymer-based high performance size exclusion columns by virtue of their large pore volumes.

The calibration curves are shown for globular proteins, polyethylene oxides and dextrans for each of the three TSKgel® SW columns.
