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
Better determination of xylene solubles
Viscotek's latest applications report describes a flow injection polymer analysis (Fipa) technique for superior results to traditional methods for gravimetric determination of xylene soluble polymers
Triple Detection sets the standard for GPC/SEC technology and is the preferred method for macromolecular characterisation.
The TDA employs a concentration detector, viscometer and light scattering detector acting in concert, with each detector providing complimentary but different information.
The GPCmax features a fixed loop autosampler for reproducible sample injection and an isocratic pump for constant and pulseless solvent flow.
It also comes equipped with an in-line solvent degasser to remove dissolved gases and allow optimum performance of concentration, viscosity and light scattering detectors.
To compliment its GPC/SEC systems Viscotek offers a comprehensive range of Viscogel columns that deliver optimum performance, reliability and long column lifetimes, even under the most severe operating conditions.
In line with Viscotek's commitment to provide complete solutions for GPC/SEC applications an optimised Viscogel GPC column is available to suit almost any polymer analysis application.
Viscotek also offers a range of GPC standards for natural and synthetic polymer applications.
Polycal standards free GPC users from the tedious task of standard preparation by providing pre-weighted portions that are accurate and easy to use.
Time efficient, cost effective and validated, Polycal standards are an excellent tool for lab-to-lab standardisation and cross check.
They also come with detail pre-printed labels for laboratory notebooks in support of GLP and ISO requirements.
Viscotek is the leading provider of comprehensive gel permation chromatography (GPC)/size exclusion chromatography (SEC) solutions, featuring multiple detection for the characterisation of natural and synthetic polymers, proteins and nanoparticulate materials.
