Traditional GPC vs APC
• Conventional GPC
− New Solvent equilibration takes 9 – 48 hours
− Operate columns under low backpressure
− Large system volume lead to loss of resolution
− Typical analysis time 30 – 45 minutes
• Advanced Polymer Chromatography (APC)
+ New solvent equilibration time takes 2 – 4 hours
+ Operate columns under high backpressure
+ Sub 3µm hybrid particle column technology combined with low dispersion result
in improvements in resolution
+ Typical analysis time 10 – 15 minutes
