Gel permeation chromatography – Revolutionary separation of polymers made uncomplicated
Gel permeation chromatography is a type of column chromatography where it is based on the separation of particles purely based on the size of the sample. This technique is also known as Size Exclusion Chromatography(SEC) or Molecular-sieve chromatography. As the name suggests, gel permeation chromatography…
