Di-carboxylic Acids

The elution pattern of RSpak DE-413 and that of ODS column were compared. For di-carboxylic acids, the elution times of ODS column were faster than those of RSpak DE-413. To the contrary, for suberic acid whose carbon number of alkyl chain is six, the elution time of RSpak DE-413 is faster that of ODS column.
