Monitoring and control of polymerisation
Varian announced the release of PL-PMC, a complete system for online polymerisation monitoring and control from Polymer Laboratories, now a part of Varian
The PL-PMC system is designed for a wide range of polymer synthesis applications It allows continuous sampling of reaction material directly from a reactor during a polymerisation followed by chromatographic analysis (gel permeation, hydrodynamic and flow injection) and Acomp (automatic continuous monitoring of polymerisation) to provide information on all aspects of the reaction as it occurs

This direct investigation of polymerisation processes is ideal for polymer research, development, and production management.
The PL-PMC system is particularly valuable for R+D in industry and academia at laboratory scale.
The fast, efficient and routine monitoring of polymerisation processes in real time has long been a key goal for polymer chemists.
With PL-PMC, it is now possible to analyse a wide range of polymeristion reactions continuously from initiation to completion essentially in real time, generating significantly more information than from single, offline or bulk property measurements.
This can save time and money, and improve both product yields and quality.
The value of PL-PMC lies in the careful integration of its components and processes to provide seamless operation and consistent results.
"Online polymerisation monitoring and control are key to improved management of polymer production," says Martin O'Donoghue, senior vice president, scientific instruments, Varian.
"By moving to proactive control and taking the lab to the sample, PL-PMC maximises staff efficiency and product yield at the same time". Request a free brochure from Varian ...
