Introduction

CarboPac PA200
The CarboPac PA200 column is the latest addition to the CarboPac family of columns for
carbohydrate separations. This column has been specially developed to provide high resolution
separations of charged and neutral oligosaccharides and is the recommended column for these
applications. The CarboPac PA200 columns are packed with a hydrophobic, polymeric, pellicular
anion exchange resin stable over the range of pH 0–14. This unique pH-stability of the packing
material allows the use of eluent compositions that are conducive to anodic oxidation of
carbohydrates at gold electrodes.
