POLYMERS
Powerful polymer analysis
PEG (Polyethylene Glycol sample) showing the chain length distribution
MALDI-ToF Mass Spectrometry:
-
provides absolute mass measurements
-
does not require polymer reference materials
-
is highly accurate
-
generates fast results from extremely small sample sizes
-
is independent of polymer structure e.g. it can
analyse rigid rods which are difficult by GPC
-
is particularly effective in ranges at masses lower
than 4 kDa, where GPC typically falls short
-
useful for determining MMD (molecular mass distributions) and the polydispersity of polymers
