Important Handling Instructions
Caution!
· Please consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) of reagents and solvents used with the column
and understand their proper handling methods to prevent potential health hazards or death
from occurring.
· Please wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as lab goggles and gloves
when handling organic solvents and acid and alkaline reagents. Avoid any direct physical
contact to prevent chemical injuries.
Before Using the Column
(1) Please visually inspect the package and outside of the column for any damage.
(2) Please check if product name and serial number written on the column package, column name tag, and
enclosed Certificate of Analysis (CoA) are matching and correct.
1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Shodex
product. Shodex
GPC HK-400 series is an ultra-rapid analysis type
size exclusion chromatography column used with organic solvents. The column series is suitable for the
separations of organic compounds and/or oligomers, and molecular weight distribution analysis of high
molecular weight polymers. The columns with different exclusion limits are available. Please select columns
with target molecular weight ranges (see below) that meet the molecular weight range of your samples.
