Shodex: Packed Columns for HPLC Analysis

Comparison with ODS Column (1)

The comparison of Asahipak GF-310 HQ ( a multisolvent GPC column ) and an ODS column when they were used for the measurement of POE distribution of octylphenol ethoxylate is shown here. When GF-310 HQ was used, good chromatograms were obtained using 35 and 40% acetonitrile concentration. On the other hand, when an ODS column was used, POE distribution can be measured using 55% acetonitrile concentration but the separation is not sufficient.
