Shinwa ULTRON PS-80 Series Instruction Manual

1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the ULTRON PS-80 series packed column for high-performance liquid
chromatography. The PS-80 series of columns are packed with a strong cation -exchange resin consisting of
sulfonated cross-linked styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer. There are 4 types of columns in the PS -80
series:
・ PS-80H : designed especially for analysis of organic acids.
・ PS-80N, C, P : designed especially for analysis of sugars and sugar alcohols.
ULTRON PS-80columns, which are manufactured under highly controlled conditions, must pass a series
of strict tests before being accepted for shipment. To ensure optimal performanc e and durability of the
column, please read these instructions carefully before using this column.

3. Shipment solvent
： aqueous solution of perchloric acid (pH 2.1)
・PS-80H
・PS-80N, C, P ： pure water.
4. Mobile phase and sample
・Ensure to filter samples and mobile phases using a membrane filter with a mesh size of 0.45 µm or smaller before
using. Failure to filter mobile phases, etc. can lead to blockages of column filters and increases in analytical pressures.
・Ensure to thoroughly degas mobile phases prior to use. Insufficient degassing of mobile phases can lead to the
formation of bubbles inside analytical instruments and columns resulting in problems with analyses.
・The columns in this series are used with water or the appropriate aqueous acid mobile phases. The mobile phase may
contain up to 30% acetonitrile.
