title: Size-exclusion chromatography study of the molecular-weight distribution of gamma-irradiated pullulan.
abstract: The polyelectrolyte behavior of gamma-irradiated pullulan in aqueous solutions leads to secondary effects of adsorption on a Shodex OHPak KB 806 column gel during size-exclusion chromatography. Suppression of the polyelectrolyte properties of gamma-irradiated pullulan is achieved by using a 0.05 M aqueous solution of NaH2PO4 (pH 4.95) as the mobile phase. Under these conditions, adequate molecular-weight distributions of gamma-irradiated pullulan samples are obtained.
