Characterizing Opthalmic Viscosurgical Devices (OVDs) using a rotational rheometer

This application note discusses the methodology and results for the rheological characterization of Opthalmic Viscosurgical Devices (OVDs) according to the International Standard ISO15798:2013

Techniques & Tools Spectroscopy

Structure-molecular weight relationships of synthetic polymers

| Sponsored by Malvern Panalytical

In this application note, the structural distribution of some common polymers are compared using the Mark-Houwink plot. The data are all generated using the advanced OMNISEC multi-detector GPC/SEC system

Fields & Applications Spectroscopy

An introduction to OMNISEC REVEAL

This technical note describes the system and explains how OMNISEC sets a new standard in molecular characterization.

Fields & Applications Sample Preparation

The Mark–Houwink plot – Differentiation of Branching and Composition

Using OMNISEC, we will show how to separate the effects of a structural difference induced by a compositional change to a polymer (e.g. substitution) and the structural change induced by polymer chain branching.

The big reveal: Workhorse + Innovation = more information (Part 1)

A concern raised by the rise in routine MRI screening within the healthcare industry is that the ability to detect abnormalities within the body may currently be running ahead of our understanding of their possible consequences, making it difficult to determine a sound course of action. Here then analytical science is arguably advancing beyond current requirements.
