Article number: 102319

ENVIRONMENT

  • High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
  • Column
  • Carbohydrates
  • oligosaccharides
  • sugar
  • Amino (NH2)
  • Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography (HILIC)

ANSWER

Yes, provided the solvent is switched to a HILIC solvent system.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

An example of HILIC solvents used to retain carbohydrates on this column is 80:20 acetonitrile:water.

For additional information on how to switch solvents on Waters Spherisorb NH2 column for use in reversed-phase or HILIC separations, refer to What solvents do Waters Spherisorb Amino (NH2) columns ship in?
