This is a fee-based sample analysis service with fast turnaround time. Typically, the chemistry of the sample(s) is known and appropriate setup conditions such as solvent, solvent additives and experimental temperature and column setup can be suggested. The analysis fee per sample is quoted based on the requested turnaround time, type of mobile phase, number of samples submitted and type of analysis. Supplementary interpretations and advanced studies may add to the overall cost of the analysis. Depending on the sample polarity, PolyAnalytik’s facilities offer experimental conditions with a wide range of known mobile phases including but not limited to:

Polar Solvents: Water and Aqueous Buffers, Acetic acid, Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO), Hexafluoropropanol (HFIP), Dimethylformamide (DMF), Dimethylacetamide (DMAC),N-Methylpyrrolidone (NMP), Acetonitrile, Acetone and Tetrahydrofuran (THF).Non-Polar Solvents: Dichloromethane, Ethyl Acetate, Chloroform, Toluene, Trichlorobenzene (TCB), Xylene and Hexane.

According to the application and true needs of customers we employ various instrument setups, configurations and detectors to obtain critical molecular parameters:

• Conventional GPC
• GPC/Light Scattering
• GPC/Viscometry
• Advanced Multi-Detection GPC (combining RI/UV/Light Scattering/Viscometry)

PolyAnalytik offers competitive pricing. Based on the project, type and number of samples, solvent or buffer solution, and additional calculations or analysis required, our sales staff can provide you with an accurate quotation. Common requested complementary analysis and calculations include:

• Determination of Refractive Index Increment (dn/dc)
• Long Chain Branching (LCB) Analysis
• Copolymer Composition Analysis
