Description

This ½ day course covers the theoretical and practical principles of GPC & SEC. We will discuss how light scattering overcomes the limitations of column calibration to provide a direct measurement of ‘absolute’ molecular weight, irrespective of the sample’s chemistry, composition, and structure. This course will discuss the principles behind the different advanced detectors and how sample molecular weight and other parameters can be measured. We will also discuss practical aspects of making high quality GPC/SEC measurements and generating consistent results. Finally, we will look at a series of application examples to see how these measurements can be applied to a wide range of applications and samples types.
