TSKgel PW Columns for Analysis of Water-Soluble Polymers
TSKgel PW columns are composed of spherical, hydrophilic polymethacrylate beads. Particle sizes range from 12 µm for the smaller pore size columns to 17 µm for the larger pore size columns.
The main application areas for TSKgel PW columns are the analysis of water-soluble polymers, such as celluloses, acrylamides, glycols, dextrans, polyvinylalcohol, and oligosaccharides.
The figure to the left shows the calibration curves for all TSKgel PW-type columns. Suitable solvents for various polymer samples are shown in the table below.

Specialty TSKgel PW-type Columns
The mixed-mode column, TSKgel GMPW, has an extended linear calibration range, suitable for samples with a broad MW distribution, as well as unknown samples. TSKgel G2000PW, the larger particle size equivalent of TSKgel G-Oligo-PW, is most suitable for semipreparative and preparative isolation of oligosaccharides. TSKgel G1000PW is the preferred column for analysis of low MW oligomers.
