Hi , can any body tell me what is the average life of carbohydrate column and how many maximum samples of sugars can be analysed on any carbohydraye column on an average. regardless of brand and care taken.
Life depends on the frequency you use it. Usually after 2000 runs thr column starts to die. To enhance the number of runs keep it clean and safe. You might go up to 3000
The lifetime of a column also depends on how do you maintain it after the analysis and how clean of your samples. Please refer to the column specification.
The answer depends on the number of injections, the injection volume (uL), and the sample matrix! These columns can also be killed by Sodium ions. So there is no 1 answer to your question!
