HPLC techniques can be hyphenated with GPC/SEC in a fully automated setup to deformulate copolymers and analyze heterogeneous components regarding their chemical composition and molar mass distribution.

Investigation of Iron Polysaccharide Complexes by GPC/SEC Using RI- and UV-Detection

07/25/2016 | Contributed by PSS

Dual-detection Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), also known as Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC), provides an easy and effective way to measure the molar mass distribution and the amount of free, unbound polysaccharide of iron polysaccharide complexes.

EP/USP GPC/SEC Molar Mass Determination for Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH)

07/18/2016 | Contributed by PSS

LMWHs are defined as heparin salts having an average molecular weight of less than 8000 Da. Both, the Pharmaeuropa and the US Pharmacopeia, require GPC/SEC to characterize e.g. Enoxaparin Sodium or other low molar mass heparins with respect to molecular weight. A dedicated GPC/SEC software such as PSS WinGPC UniChrom is required to obtain reliable mass fraction information.
