Ribose and Xylose: Retention and separation of simple sugars
23 Mar 2022Sugars can be difficult to analyze with HPLC due to their polarity. Columns with amine ligands are often used for retention of simple sugars like Ribose and Xylose, but they have a number of drawbacks.
In this application note, MicroSolv Technology Corporation demonstrates that the Cogent Amide Column avoids these problem because its ligand is less chemically reactive than an amine, while still obtaining good retention and separation of the two sugar analytes.

UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems.
