This quarter, GPC column efficiency and resolution were tested. Better resolution and separation of petroleum asphaltenes were obtained in GPC by connecting four columns (1000{Angstrom}, 1000{Angstrom}, 500{Angstrom}, 500{Angstrom} pore sizes, respectively) in series. A good linear column calibration curve was obtained using several polystyrene standards with molecular weights ranging from 500 to 5 {times} 10{sup 4}. The molecular weight distribution of a petroleum asphaltenes was approximated by the polystyrene calibration curve
