Waters and Malvern Panalytical collaborate to improve polymer characterization
The Waters Corporation announced that it entered into a co-marketing agreement with Malvern Panalytical to advance the analysis of polymers. By pairing the Waters “Acquitiy Advanced Polymer Chromatography (APC) System” with Malvern Panalytical’s “Omnisec Reveal”, R&D scientists can access higher sensitivity, higher resolution data than ever before, giving them better insight into their samples without the need for column calibration.
Coupling the APC System to the “Omnisec Reveal” offers the ability to calculate absolute molecular weight, intrinsic viscosity and hydrodynamic radius. These parameters can be used to predict polymer behaviors in solutions/product matrices and to give a more comprehensive understanding of polymer structure.
