Advancing polymer characterization with light scattering
Traditional column calibration methods in size exclusion chromatography (SEC) often struggle with accuracy and resolution, especially for complex samples. Multi-angle light scattering (MALS) solves these problems by providing direct measurements of molecular weight, size, and conformation, eliminating the need for calibration standards.
In this webinar, we’ll discuss how MALS works, its benefits over traditional methods, and explore applications such as polymer degradation, branching analysis, and copolymer characterization. Discover how MALS can improve the precision of your polymer analysis and overcome common SEC limitations.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Learn about the challenges and inaccuracies associated with conventional methods in polymer analysis and how they affect the results.
- Discover how MALS overcomes the limitations of traditional calibration methods by providing direct measurements of molecular weight, size, and conformation, ensuring more accurate polymer characterization.
- Gain insights into real-world applications of MALS, including polymer degradation, branching analysis, copolymer characterization, and FFF separation for UHMW polymers.
Who Should Attend:
- Polymer chemists seeking advanced analytical characterization capabilities.
- Researchers involved in synthetic, biopolymer, and functional polymer characterization.
- Lab Managers looking to understand state-of-the-art instruments that enhance analytical capabilities.
