It is now possible to do molecular weight distribution of polymeric material almost as fast as you can put them in solution. μSYRAGEL® has opened a new era in the determination of molecular weight distribution of polymers. With operational efficiencies of 800 plates/min., one can obtain a molecular weight distribution in 15 mins. Combining three of the newest advances in liquid chromatography—solvent delivery, septumless injection, and μSYRAGEL—now makes it possible to use molecular weight distribution as a quality control tool in polymerization and fabrication. The reproducibility of the molecular weight distribution is now good enough that overlays can be done from the raw data. The chromatograms can be used right off the recorder. The reproducibility of the weight average and number average molecular weight is 2–3 percent.
