Comparing multi-detector GPC and APC for polyalphaolefin analysis

Polyalfaolefins (PAO) are used in a number of lubricant applications and their specific physical properties are strongly determined by their molecular weights. In this technical note, Malvern Panalytical compares the separation of PAO by multi-detector GPC and APC, and outlines the benefits of multi-detector APC for the measurement of a range of PAO molecular properties.
