CATION-EXCHANGE GARD™ COLUMN PROTECTION SYSTEM

Cation-exchange GARD™ uses a proprietary material to prevent matrix compounds from passing through (and thereby protecting the analytical column), but allows the analytes of interest to pass unimpeded through the GARD™ and onto the analytical column.

The GARD™ significantly prolongs column life without band spreading or added pressure. We demonstrated, by means of a performance comparison for Amino Acid Analysis, that the use of a GARD™ will effectively protect the analytical column, will be more cost-effective for the laboratory, is easy to change, is universal to cation-exchange applications, and most importantly has zero band spreading.

With GARD™ Column protection system from Pickering Laboratories the same cation-exchange GARD™ can be used for nearly all cation-exchange applications.
