Question 1:
What packingmaterials can I use in ELSglass columns?
Answer:
In theory you can use any packing material from any
manufacturer of your choice!
The only restrictions are those linked to the conditions
of use with materials that come into contact with the
media, such as the pressure limits of the column and
packing material. To accommodate this, ELS offers a
wide range of variants and different column versions.
Our application laboratory has examples of applica-
tions in the fields of ion exchange, size exclusion, gel
permeation, normal/reversed phase and affinity chro-
matography, etc. with an enormous range of phases
from various manufacturers, including YMC, GE, Pall,
Bio-Rad, Tosoh and others.
Question 2:
Can I link ELS glass columns to any LC system from
other manufacturers, or can I only use ELS systems?
Answer:
Of coursewewould love you to use ELS glass columns
asa“package”withELS LC systems–butof course there
are no restrictions! The accessory package included in
ELS laboratory glass columns contains con-
nectors and adaptors to link our columns
toall current LC systems (e.g.GEÄkta).
As an option, we can supply special
components such as “yellow” connec-
tion adaptors to convert frommetric to im-
perial systems (M6 at 1/4-28).
