Chromatography
Chromatography is utilized whenever the components of a mixture need to be separated, identified, and quantified. Various detectors determine concentration, molecular weight, or chemical structure of the components.
Applications:
- Polymer molecular weight distribution
- Polymer structure/branching and viscosity/molecular weight relationships
- Polymer antioxidants and light stabilizers indentification and quantitation
- Flame retardants indentification and content
- Identification and quantitation of antimicrobials
- Deformulation of plastic compounds, coatings, adhesives, personal care products, pharmaceutical formulations, etc
- Residual monomer content of Polymers
- Purity analysis and identification of contamination in raw materials and intermediates (pharmaceutical actives, excipients, monomers, process solvents, etc)
- Residual solvent content and residual monomer content
- Plasticizer identification and content
- Additives analysis
- Leachables analysis
