Overview
Molar Mass fractionation is based on the solvent interaction with the polymer chains and it is typically performed at isothermal conditions by modifying the solvent power through a solvent-non solvent combination.
In this fractionation method, samples are dissolved and then stabilized at the fractionation temperature. Then a decreasing percentage of non-solvent, in the solvent-non solvent combination, is added for each fraction. After each step, the dissolved part is the fraction that will be filtered and collected, and it will correspond to the different Molar Mass fractions.
The following are the molar mass distribution results of the fractions obtained by Preparative Fractionation by Molar Mass:
To calculate the final price, please take into account the amount of sample to fractionate and the number of fractions that you wish to obtain. This price includes a fast GPC analysis of the resulting fractions.

The fractionation service is available thanks to the Instruments PREP mc2 and PREP C20, capable of fractionating samples by molecular weight or by composition (TREF or CRYSTAF). High amounts of polymer (up to 20 grams) can be fractionated. Please visit the links of Preparative Fractionation below for more information.
The resulting fractions are later analyzed by the corresponding technique (GPC or TREF/CRYSTAF) to check the good performance of the fractionation process. Finally, the physical fractions are sent back to the customer by courier service as well as the analysis results of the fractions, so the customer can check the separation.
Any solvent compatible with viton o'rings and sealings can be used. To fractionate polyolefin samples, the solvents mainly used are TCB and oDCB. The non-solvent used is Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether (DEGMBE).
For most of our analyses, you will receive a summary of the results along with an Excel file. However, the type of data and report form depends on the analytical service made. For specifics about the information sent, contact analyticalservices@polymerchar.com
Please send an email to analyticalservices@polymerchar.com and we will be pleased to help you.
To order any analytical service, please fill in the Analytical Service Request Form. Provide all the information available about the samples to be analyzed. Sent forms will be processed as formal orders for Polymer Char records. All the information provided is considered confidential information.
If a previous quotation is required, please do not hesitate to let us know by sending an email to analyticalservices@polymerchar.com
Samples should be shipped to:
Polymer Characterization S.A.
Valencia Technology Park
Gustave Eiffel 8
Paterna, Valencia
E-46980, Spain
Attn.: Analytical Services Department
We highly recommend to use courier service instead of post mail to ensure your samples arrive in good condition.
The turnaround time in preparative fractionation services will depend on the number of samples, the total amount of sample to fractionate, and the number of fractions desired. To receive an approximate turnaround time, please contact analyticalservices@polymerchar.com
This time is approximate, and it depends on the service queue in the laboratory at the time of the order. Polymer Char will inform the customer if the turnaround time is expected to be longer.
Please refer to our Analytical Services Terms and in the first chapter, you will find the necessary amount for each technique.
