Advances in materials sciences have led to a growing demand for instrumentation that delivers faster, more detailed analytical information about your materials.

During this webinar, the speakers detailed below discuss how applying a multi-dimensional chromatographic approach enables separation of analytes by two different, sequential retention mechanisms.

Jennifer Bain and Claudia Lohmann cover the rich capabilities of the Acquity advanced polymer chromatography (APC) system, using relatable examples that showcase its key features – such as its ability to show the enhanced resolution and in-depth information of chemical structures, and the composition of complex polymeric samples. They are joined for the presentation – and questions session at the end – by polymer scientist Daniela Herd from PSS GmbH.

By the end of this webinar, you will have learned:

  • How to increase sample throughput and efficiency of laboratory operations by obtaining accurate and repeatable sample separation
  • The best ways to leverage comprehensive 2D chromatography to gain additional insight into complex polymer analyses
  • The most suitable ways that advances in 2D technology can be applied routinely to support your daily polymer innovation needs
