TSKgel Sugar AXG columns are packed with 10 µm porous spherical polymer beads which are surface modified with a strong anion exchanger. They are used for the gradient separation and analysis of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and sugar alcohols.

For isocratic separation of carbohydrates where lower and constant back pressures may be generated, please see the TSKgel Sugar AXI which is packed with 8 µm particles.
