Expanding Your Polymer Characterization SEC Knowledge: Column Selection and Coupling of Detection Methods
Amandaa K. Brewer, Ph.D., GPC Technical Specialist, Tosoh Bioscience LLC

The backbone of polymer characterization via size exclusion chromatography is the column selected to perform the separation; without the correct column the information obtained from various detection methods, e.g. refractive index, light scattering, etc., becomes obsolete. The selection of a suitable SEC column for polymer analysis can easily become a daunting task as hundreds to thousands of different columns are currently available. However, selecting the correct column is required as the molar mass averages typically obtained from SEC experiments rely heavily on the quality of separation being performed. Here, we will discuss the different criteria involved in selecting the best TSKgel® column for polymer analysis. The importance of selecting a column that is suitable for the polymer undergoing analysis will be shown through applications of natural and synthetic polymers via single- and multi-detector SEC using TSKgel columns and the EcoSEC® GPC System. Lastly, we will provide an overview of the physiochemical properties obtained from single- and multi-detector SEC when the correct column is chosen.
