Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) also known as Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC), is a very popular analytical tool for polymer characterization. Low molecular weight polymers such as polyols, epoxies and polycaprolactones (amongst others) are used in structural applications as well as for coatings and in drug delivery. However, their low molecular weight makes it very difficult for most GPC/SEC system to detect them and accurately measure their absolute molecular weight accurately.

This webinar introduces our latest multi-detector GPC/SEC system, OMNISEC, and show how its unrivalled light scattering sensitivity overcomes these difficulties and opens up these application areas in ways which was not previously possible with other light scattering systems, bringing absolute molecular weight measurements to this important market.
