The eluents suitable for the separation of amino acids on latex cation exchangers do not comprise the classical citrate/borate buffers but mixtures of nitric acid and potassium oxalate. In comparison to buffers composed of sodium citrate and borate, these components may be obtained at much higher purity. The retention of the amino acids to be analyzed, however, is possibly affected by the sample pH due to the limited buffer capacity of the eluents that are based on nitric acid and potassium oxalate. Fig. 4-21 shows the separation of a calibration standard for collagen hydrolysates on an Amino Pac PA-1 latex cation exchanger at ambient temperature. The advantage is the short... 

Cation exchangers are usually made of organic polymers (styrene-divinylbenzene, ethylvinylbenzene-diviniylbenzene, polymethacrylate, and polyvinyl), however, a variety of other substrate materials are also available (e.g., latexed cation exchangers, sUica-based exchangers). 

Latex cation exchangers were introduced by Dionex Corp. 10 years later than latex-agglomerated anion exchangers. These types of cation exchangers consist of a weakly sulfonated PS-DVB substrate with latex beads with a very small diameter agglomerated on its surface by both electrostatic and van der Waals interactions. 

In contrast to surface-sulfonated phases, latex cation exchangers exhibit a significantly higher chromatographic efficiency. Examples of Dionex latex cation-exchange columns are given in Table 9.

Alternatively, uranyl cations can also be separated on an lonPac CS3 latexed cation exchanger utilizing a buffer mixture of ammonium sulfate and sulfuric acid as an eluant. Detection is performed as it is for transition metals, via derivatization with PAR.

The corresponding AminoPac PA-1 latexed anion exchanger, introduced at the same time as the AminoPac PC-1, has been replaced meanwhile by a more modern product, the AminoPac PA-10 (see Section 3.11). The baseline-resolved separation of 17 amino acids contained in a hydrolysate standard requires about 40 minutes, which is significantly longer than with a latex cation exchanger.
