We are talking about Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC). We separate your sample according to size and we get peaks to look at and process to obtain the sample’s molecular weight. But what if that is not the whole story? Now, do you finally want to fully see your sample? Look at each component within your sample mixture from different points of view? Do you think you ever really know all about your sample with analytical SEC in conventional mode? What would you think if I give you a speech that can open your eyes to a new world in SEC characterization?

SEC can be fast, have excellent resolution, generate high quality accurate data and provide much more than relative molecular weight. It’s true! And all of that is achievable with Multi-detector UPLC- SEC.

I am one of the guest speakers of the 6-part webinar series organized by Waters – Polymer Masterclass (An Introduction to Polymer Analysis – A Lesson in GPC Fundamentals (on24.com)). On September 13th, expand your knowledge with my webinar titled: “Revealing More Info on Your Polymer with the OMNISEC REVEAL ULTRA Connected to an ACQUITY APC™. “

Come and join me to learn more about the OMNISEC advanced multi-detector system combined with the UPLCTM system from Waters.

The ideal analytical technique for the analysis of polymer molecular weight has always been SEC and in recent years it has become even more appealing and useful with Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC or UPLC) and advanced multi-detection SEC. So, if you are tired of waiting a long time to run your sample with SEC and get only a relative molecular weight for it, this is for you.

Waters ACQUITY APC and OMNISEC REVEAL ULTRA together deliver:

  • High-resolution analysis
  • Reduced time
  • Reduced solvent consumption
  • Reduced sample concentration
  • Quick mobile phase changeover
  • Absolute molecular weight: without the need for column calibration
  • Molecular weight distribution
  • Size: hydrodynamic radius across the sample’s entire molecular weight range
  • Structural characterization
  • Compositional analysis

My presentation will describe for you the OMNISEC REVEAL ULTRA multi-detector system and the value that it can bring to the Waters ACQUITY APC system. Examples of polymers chromatograms and results (to mention a few: PCL, PBd, PLA and PLGA, branched polymers) will show you the benefits of combining the fast, highly sensitive, and high-resolution chromatography of UPLC with the numerous and high-quality data generated by multi-detection. The OMNISEC REVEAL ULTRA detectors can look at different properties of your samples and combined will provide you with a multitude of data from just one single sample injection!

Who is it for?

Scientists working to characterize macromolecules, oligomers, and polymers.
