Comprehensive 2D liquid chromatography for polymer applications

Thoroughly understanding macromolecular structure is a fundamental aspect for the use of polymers in increasingly specific applications, particularly because various polymers may vary in molecular weight, chemical composition, end groups and architecture. Furthermore, most classes of macromolecules – especially polymers – can exhibit more than one property distributions at the same time.

This white paper discusses how two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) provides a superior solution for the analysis of complex samples owing to its improvement in both separation selectivity and peak capacity.
