Aluminium Oxide

for Chromatography and Purification Processes

Aluminium Oxide is one of the most versatile sorbents for preparative chromatography. Due to its amphoteric character, Aluminium Oxides can be used in specifically defined pH ranges.

CAMAG manufactures the various types of Aluminium Oxide, which are used in the following processes:

Preparative Column Chromatography
Flash Chromatography
Selective Filtration

Type of Aluminium Oxide:

Alkaloids: Basic, medium activity Isolation, of ergot-, opium-, rauwolfia-, and other alkaloids

Antibiotics: Neutral Isolation, purification

Essential Oils: Basic, Neutral Removal of terpenes

Plant Extraction: Basic, Neutral, Acid Isolation of active substances

Dehydration of organic solvents: Basic, highly active

Enzymes: Neutral Purification

Glycosides: Neutral Isolation of digitalis-, strophantus-glycosides, etc.

Removal of Peroxides: Basic, highly active from organic solvents

Hormones: Neutral Isolation and purification of ketosteroids from neutral materials

Purification of organic solvents: Basic, highly active for technical purposes

Oils: Basic Clarification of fatty oils, separation of fatty acids

Particle Size distribution:

Max. 2%	> 160 µm
~ 95%	40 - 160 µm
max. 3%	< 40 µm

Properties of Standardized Aluminium Oxides:

** Sligthly higher surface area than 5016-A
