John B. Matson, Anna Q. Steele, Jonathan D. Mase, Michael D. Schulz
Abstract
), the appearance of contaminants in SEC chromatograms from sample preparation, the influence of concentration on data quality, and how polymer topology affects molecular weight characterization in SEC. Finally, we address practical considerations, common issues, and persistent misconceptions.
