You’ve done the hard parts to get your GPC/SEC instrument ready: prepared the mobile phase, stabilized the detector baselines, and prepared your sample.  After injection and completion of your sample sequence, you have acquired data.  Congrats!  Now, before you even…READ MORE >

Whether your samples are synthetic polymers, natural materials such as polysaccharides, or proteins, antibodies, or other biological samples, gel permeation / size exclusion chromatography (GPC/SEC) is the ideal technique for characterizing those and other types of macromolecules.  The information offered from…READ MORE >

Gel Permeation / Size Exclusion Chromatography is the ideal technique for determining the molecular weight of macromolecules.  In addition to molecular weight, other molecular parameters can be calculated by taking advantage of various detector combinations, such as intrinsic viscosity (IV),…READ MORE >

While talking to customers about their samples, a frequent topic that comes up is whether or not their samples are branched.  Fortunately, I work primarily with Malvern Panalytical’s gel permeation / size exclusion chromatography (GPC/SEC) product range, which in addition…READ MORE >

Determining which gel permeation/size exclusion chromatography (GPC/SEC) system is best for your needs can be a daunting task. Even after you’ve decided to include a light scattering detector to obtain absolute molecular weight data you’re still left to choose between…READ MORE >
