Optimize Your Polymer Analysis by Selecting the Ideal GPC/SEC Column

Choosing the appropriate column for your polymer analysis can be a challenge. Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) and Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) are separation techniques often used for polymers to determine the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution.  Whether working with organic or aqueous mobile phase conditions, there are numerous factors and criteria to consider beyond the MW range when selecting the ideal GPC or SEC column.

These include:

  • individual pore, MIXED, and multiporous packing features and benefits
  • particle and pore size considerations
  • column chemistries and polymer sample types

Additionally, we will cover best practices for selecting solvents, choosing calibration standards, and for using columns together in series. Application examples will be given. With a diverse range of column options available, we will demonstrate how to maximize performance through your GPC/SEC column selection
