High-Speed, High-Resolution Analysis of Low Molecular Weight Polymers Using the Advanced Polymer Chromatography (APC) System

In this application note, separations using the ACQUITY APC System are compared to conventional GPC separations. Faster analysis, improved resolution, and the beneficial effect on calibration of low molecular weight oligomers using a low-dispersion system with sub 3-μm hybrid particle technology columns is illustrated. The combination of these technologies allows more robust and precise determination of molecular weight parameters for low molecular weight polymer samples.
