It will be covering various factors that affect a successful selection of stationary phases for the separation of molecules according to size. Understanding of these basic considerations will ensure method robustness, good resolution and accuracy. Since the theory and practical part deal with general topics it is NOT required that participants use PSS columns. Program 09:00 09:45 10:15 11:00 11:15 12:00 Welcome and General Information PSS Particle Technology - From Monomers to Particles (M. Susewind) How to produce a GPC/SEC column Meaning and determination of the particle size distribution Column dimensions and column options Quality criteria for GPC/SEC columns Opportunities and Risks when Working with Small Particles (J. Preis) Influence of particle size and porosity Resolution and separation performance from SUPREMA 10 m to 3 m from SDV 10 m to 3 m Coffee Break Method Development in GPC/SEC (W. Radke) Selection of stationary and mobile phase Strategies for reducing interactions Which parameters influence the robustness of a method? GPC/SEC Columns for Light Scattering (T. Hofe) Why is that a challenge? What distinguishes a column for light scattering? Specifications of light scattering columns and application examples Page 1 of 2
