Cation Analysis with HPLC-CAD: Shodex YS-50 Column for Sodium, Magnesium, and Calcium

Record: 918


Category: Column Selection
Product: YS-50
Sample: cations


Question
Does Shodex offer a column similar to Thermo’s Trinity P1 that can be used for simultaneous cation analysis (e.g., sodium, magnesium, calcium) with HPLC-CAD?

Answer

For quantification of cations such as Na⁺, Mg²⁺, and Ca²⁺, the Shodex YS-50 column is recommended.

  • Mode: Polymer-based cation exchange (USP L17 equivalent)

  • Compatibility: Works well with HPLC-CAD detection

  • Eluent: Nitric acid can be used for cation separation, including after acid digestion of samples such as soapstock.

Shodex does not currently offer a direct equivalent to the Thermo Trinity P1 column (simultaneous cation/anion separation). However, YS-50 provides robust separation of common cations and is suitable for your application.
