Gel Permeation Chromatography

Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC)


  • Method:
    Determination of average molecular weight and weight distribution through fractionation on polymer gel columns through comparison with calibration standards



  • Determination of:
    Number average molecular weight Mn
    Weight average molecular weight Mw
    Molecular weight distribution Polydispersity PDI=Mw/Mn

  • Equipment:
    5 units working on different solvent
    1 high-temperature SEC (up to 150 °C)
