Achieve faster, cleaner, and more reliable carbohydrate separations with Antec Scientific’s SweetSep™ HPAEC columns — now available in the UK through Verulam Scientific.

SweetSep™ represents a new benchmark in carbohydrate analysis, delivering rapid, high‑resolution separation across mono‑, oligo‑, and polysaccharides. Built on highly monodisperse resin technology, these columns are engineered for exceptional performance in both PAD and MS workflows.

 

🌟 Why SweetSep™? A New Standard for Carbohydrate Analysis

SweetSep™ columns are designed specifically for High‑Performance Anion Exchange Chromatography (HPAEC) and offer a powerful combination of speed, stability, and selectivity.

Key advantages (all source‑verified):

  • Rapid, reliable carbohydrate analysis
    Optimised for fast, high‑resolution separation of mono‑, oligo‑, and polysaccharides.
  • Broad pH stability (pH 1–14)
    Suitable for harsh alkaline eluents commonly used in carbohydrate profiling.
  • Highly monodisperse resin particles
    Uniform particle size ensures superior separation efficiency and low backpressure.
  • Compatible with PAD and MS detection
    Ideal for both routine quantification and advanced structural analysis.
  • Optimised for a wide range of carbohydrates
    Including FOS, GOS, pectin hydrolysates, monosaccharides, tetrasaccharides, and complex oligosaccharides.

 

🍏 Application Areas

SweetSep™ columns support high‑quality analysis across multiple sectors:

  • Carbohydrates in food & beverages
  • Lactose in lactose‑free products
  • Artificial sweetener detection
  • Biomass hydrolysates & complex matrices
  • Clinical & diagnostic carbohydrate profiling (including FDG)
  • Glycan and sialic acid analysis

 

⚙️ Technology Behind SweetSep™

  • SweetSep AEX stationary phase
    A novel pellicular anion‑exchange phase designed for superior carbohydrate separation.
  • 5 μm crosslinked polymer particles
    Engineered for high efficiency with low backpressure, ideal for modern HPAEC workflows.

 

As Antec Scientific’s UK partner, Verulam Scientific provides:

  • Expert guidance on SweetSep™ column selection
  • Application support for HPAEC‑PAD and MS workflows
  • Purchasing, installation, and ongoing technical support

 

Whether you’re analysing sugars in food products, profiling glycans, or supporting bioprocess monitoring, SweetSep™ columns deliver the performance and reliability your lab needs.
