Triple detection polymer testing.


For laboratories involved with characterization of natural and synthetic polymers Synthetic polymers are often referred to as "plastics", such as the well-known polyethylene and nylon. However, most of them can be classified in at least three main categories: thermoplastics, thermosets and elastomers. , nanoparticulate materials, etc., the company is said to offer an unmatched complete GPC/SEC solution backed by informed applications and service support. With the leading portfolio of high performance GPC/SEC instruments, specialist software, columns and standards, the company is said to be uniquely placed to offer total system solutions to unlock the secrets of even the most complex materials. The systems feature the Triple Detector Array (TDA TDA Texas Department of Agriculture

) and the GPCmax, an integrated pump, auto-sampler and degasser, specifically designed for GPC/SEC applications.

Instrument for measuring the viscosity (resistance to internal flow) of a fluid. In one type, the time taken for a given volume of fluid to flow through an opening is recorded.

In physics, the change in direction of motion of a particle because of a collision with another particle. The collision can occur between two charged particles; it need not involve direct physical contact.
 detector acting in concert, with each detector providing complimentary but different information. The GPCmax features a fixed loop autosampler for reproducible sample injection and an isocratic pump for constant and pulseless solvent flow. It also comes equipped with an in-line solvent degasser to remove dissolved gases and allow optimum performance of concentration, viscosity and light scattering detectors.
