Your GPC/SEC Toolbox – Have You Got What You Need for Your Polymer Analysis?

GPC/SEC is an important technique for determining the molecular weight distribution of synthetic and natural polymers and for comparing batch to batch quality. It is a valuable technique for those doing polymer analysis. Specific criteria should be considered when developing or optimizing your method to ensure the success of the application:

• Why determining molecular weight is important
• Key parameters for solvent and column selection
• Column type options, their features, and benefits
• Importance of polymer standards selection and calibrating
• Modes of Detection and expanding the information for your polymer

Practical steps, helpful product information, and application examples will be provided to assist you with selecting the best GPC/SEC solution for your polymer sample.
