Chromatography Analysis of Polymers and Plastics

We combine extensive experience with a wide and versatile array of chromatography techniques for the analysis of polymers and plastics

Chromatography analysis supports clients with quality testing, troubleshooting, method development and more. 

Analysis is performed over a wide concentration range, from low (sub) ppb to % levels.

Gas chromatography techniques for polymers include:

• Gas Chromatography
• GC-FID (Gas Chromatography - Flame Ionisation Detector)
• GC-ECD (Gas Chromatography - Electron Captured Detector)
• GC-TCD (Gas Chromatography - Thermal Conductivity Detector)
• HS GC-FID (Head Space Gas Chromatography - Flame Ionisation Detector)
• GC-MS (Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry)
• PT GC-MS (Purge and Trap Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry Detection)
• TD GC-MS (Thermal Desorption Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry detection)
• PTV GC-MS (Programmable Temperature Vaporizing injector Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry Detection)
• HS GC-MS (Head Space Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry Detection)

 Liquid chromatography polymer analysis include:

• Liquid Chromatography
• RP HPLC (Reversed Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography)
• SP HPLC (Straight Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography)
• SEC (Size Exclusion Chromatography)
• IC (Ion Chromatography, Anion / Cation Chromatography)
• Detection methods: UV (Ultra violet), Conductivity, Diode Array, MS/MS (Mass Spectrometry), Scanning Fluorescence, Differential Refractive Index.

Molecular Weight (high temperature gel permeation chromatography) include:

• High Temperature Gel Permeation Chromatography (HTGPC)
