1. Introduction
TSK-GEL HIC colummns are prepacked columns for the separation of sample
components according to surface hydrophobicity. The separation mechanism is
similar to that of reversed phase.
These columns were designed for analytical and preparative separation of proteins.
We have both steel column and glass column.
Especially glass column is biocompatible type which consists of a high precise glass
tube with lastic end fittings.
This Instruction Manual contains crucial information on how to care for and use these
columns in the proper manner, so as to make most effective use of their high
performance capabikities.
