Agilent ZORBAX GF-450 Application Note: Comparison of Denaturing and Non-Denaturing Mobile Phases in SEC

Size-exclusion chromatography is a powerful technique for the size-dependent separation of biomolecules. While standard, non-denaturing mobile phases are often desirable, denaturing mobile phases containing guanidine hydrochloride (or SDS), may be used to insure un-aggregated, monomers for proper size determination. As shown below, denaturation shifts molecules toward larger apparent size and smaller retention volume.

About this manual

The document discusses size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) as a technique for separating biomolecules based on size. It highlights that while standard non-denaturing mobile phases are common, denaturing phases containing guanidine hydrochloride or SDS can be used to ensure un-aggregated monomers for accurate size determination.
