Polymer ChAR has developed a new high temperature GPC dedicated to polyolefin analysis, the GPCIR. It can be configured as a triple detector system, including viscometer, Light Scattering and IR detector, with both concentration and composition sensors for SCB measurement. IR detector is the new IR4+ and optionally the IR5-MCT, for highly demanding applications. GPCIR can also be configured as a GPC+TREF system.
GPCIR is a robust, compact and easy to use instrument; sample preparation is fully automated using an autosampler with two temperature zones to prevent sample degradation. Unattended sample dissolution and injection of 70 samples is possible in 10ml vials for sample representativeness, without requiring vials transfer. In addition, the pump system is highly stable and includes solvent preheating. Columns oven is separated from valves, detectors and the sample filtration system, which incorporates backflushing.
GPCIR Virtual Instrumentation Software provides instrument control, monitoring of the whole process and calculations, which integrates all detector signals in a single package.
