Absolute molecular weights without extrapolation
Viscotek has announced new technical data that demonstrates how its unique low angle light scattering (Lals) detector achieves results not possible using traditional light scattering technologies.
Characterisation of natural and synthetic polymers
The Rimax gel permeation / size exclusion chromatography (GPC/SEC) is a powerful tool for the conventional characterisation of polymers, copolymers, proteins, nanoparticles and other macromolecules
With only solvent to be added before use, much of the traditional tedious sample preparation associated with GPC/SEC standards has been eliminated.
Additionally using PolyCal GPC/SEC standards considerable savings can be made on overall cost per calibration and standards preparation time as each vial makes 10-20ml of standard.
PolyCal delivers multiple analyses at the same price and analytical precision as a single analysis from alternative GPC standard vials, which typically only produce 1-2ml of standard.
PolyCal standards offer an excellent and cost effective tool to ensure laboratory-to-laboratory standardisation and crosscheck of the accuracy and consistency of results from GPC analyses.
Standards are available for organic (polystyrene) and aqueous (polyethylene oxide) GPC/SEC applications and come in boxes of 6x2 or 6x12 vials.
PolyCal Universal Calibration Standards (UCS) are available to cover a broad molecular weight range.
Each PolyCal UCS vial contains a single standard thus analytical resolution is ensured.
PolyCal UCS is offered in 6x12 vial packs and is available for organic and aqueous applications.
For analysts utilising triple detector technology, Viscotek Europe has available PolyCal Triple Detector Standards (TDS).
Offering similar benefits as the Universal Calibration Standards, the PolyCal TDS are available as a single narrow and single broad molecular weight standard per set.
PolyCal TDS is offered in 6x2 vial packs. Request a free brochure from Viscotek Europe ...
