Monovalent and Divalent Cation Standards (6) (Comparison of YS-50 and YK-421)

The six main cations can be separated using a newly developed column, IC YS-50. Comparing with the conventional column IC YK-421, the theoretical plate number of divalent cations becomes more than double and the separation of Na⁺ and NH₄⁺ becomes about 1.2 times.
