Question
I am currently using a 3 µm particle size column with dimensions 150 mm × 4.6 mm. Which Shodex KW column would be suitable for my system?

Answer

The Shodex KW-402.5-4F column is a good match:

• Particle size: 3 µm

• Column dimensions: 4.6 mm I.D. × 300 mm

• Recommended flow rate: 0.35 mL/min

• Maximum flow rate: 0.5 mL/min

• Maximum pressure: 10 MPa

This column should be fully compatible with your system.

In addition, Shodex offers semi-micro KW-4F columns (e.g., KW-403-4F, KW-404-4F, KW-405-4F) for higher sensitivity or when lower sample volumes are required. These semi-micro formats are typically made to order and may require a longer lead time.
