The primary goal when employing gel permeation / size exclusion chromatography (GPC/SEC) is often to determine the molecular weight of a macromolecular sample.  Multi-detector systems, such as Malvern Panalytical’s OMNISEC and TDAmax systems, are able to offer a range of…READ MORE >

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 >

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 >

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 >
