Adsorbosphere XL Carbohydrate AX

Strong Anion Exchange Column for Sugar and Acidic Compound Analysis

Adsorbosphere XL Carbohydrate AX is a specialty HPLC column designed for strong anion exchange (SAX) chromatography with a focus on carbohydrate, sugar alcohol, and organic acid analysis. Based on high-purity, fully porous silica, this column features a chemically bonded strongly basic anion exchange group, enabling the retention and separation of negatively charged analytes under aqueous conditions.

As part of the XL (Extended Lifetime) series, it offers enhanced stability, reproducibility, and longer column life — especially useful in high-throughput or regulated environments.

Adsorbosphere XL Carbohydrate AX combines robust SAX functionality with extended lifetime performance – ideal for high-sensitivity sugar and acid analysis in demanding chromatographic workflows.

Key Features

  • Strong anion exchange (SAX) functionality on high-purity silica

  • Optimized for carbohydrates, sugar alcohols, and organic acids

  • Suitable for aqueous mobile phases, including high-pH buffers

  • XL bonding technology for increased chemical and mechanical stability

  • Excellent peak shape and selectivity for charged polar analytes

  • Available in 7 µm particle size

Typical Applications

  • Monosaccharides and oligosaccharides

  • Sugar alcohols (e.g. sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol)

  • Organic acids (e.g. citric, lactic, malic acid)

  • Carbohydrate profiling in food and beverage analysis

  • Ion exchange-based separation of acidic pharmaceutical compounds
