Question
A customer is using a Supelcogel C-610H (30 cm × 7.8 mm I.D., Cat. No. 59320-U, Sigma) column for the analysis of sugars and organic acids. Which Shodex column is equivalent?

Additional Comments

The SUGAR SH1821 (exclusion limit 10,000 Da) can also be used for larger sugars or polyols, but for standard organic acid and monosaccharide analysis, SH1011 provides the closest match to Supelcogel C-610H performance.

Both SH1011 and SH1821 fulfill USP-NF L17 and L22 requirements.
