xylose or other sugars on Zorbax SB-Aq column

Hi hutchsin,

sugar and sugar alcohol analyses are not working well on reversed phase columns. The better choice is either an amino column or ion-exclusion chromatography columns like the Hi-Plex series. (See this community article)

Additionally sugars and their alcohols are not UV-absorbant and you need a detector like a refractive-index detector.

Norbert
