Poster: Advanced High Temperature Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC/SEC) System for Polyolefin Analysis

Presented at the Agilent Technologies EMEA IDO Training Conference, 2012. Hamburg, Germany.

Abstract:

Polymer Char’s GPC-IR system is a reliable and fully automated high temperature Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC/SEC) instrument with up to four detectors to measure the composition and molar mass of Polyolefins.

GPC-IR is the only system specifically dedicated to polyolefin characterization, incorporating many of the features previously demanded by experienced high temperature GPC users.
