Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC)

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 >

When thinking about a reason to purchase a particular piece of scientific equipment, you want to know not only that you are getting the best piece of kit, but also that you’ll be maximizing the return on your investment.  Manufacturers…READ MORE >

The most common detector in any GPC/SEC instrument is a refractive index (RI) detector.  There are multiple reasons for this, but the most important is because the difference in refractive index between that of a sample solution and that of…READ MORE >

If you’ve ever analyzed GPC/SEC data collected on your OMNISEC or TDA 305 instrument that included a viscometer detector, you might have observed and wondered about a negative peak that elutes in the viscometer signal long after the sample peak. …READ MORE >
