High Temperature GPC Dedicated to Polyolefin Analysis

Polymer ChAR has developed a new high temperature GPC called GPCIR. It can be configured as a triple detector system, including viscometer, light scattering and infrared (IR) detector, with

both concentration and composition sensors for SCB measurement. IR detector is the new IR4+ and optionally the IR5-MCT.

GPCIR is a robust, compact and easy to use instrument; sample preparation is fully automated; unattended vials filling, sample dissolution and injection, using an autosampler with 70 samples capability and two temperature zones to prevent sample degradation. Vials volume is 10ml for sample representativeness, without requiring vials transfer. Columns are located in a dedicated oven, and the valves, detectors and the sample filtration system, which incorporates backflushing are located in another oven independent from the columns one. GPCIR Virtual Instrumentation Software provides instrument control, monitoring of the whole process and calculations, which integrates all detector signals in a single package.
