Agilent PL HFIPgel

Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) is used as a solvent in GPC for the analysis of important industrial polymers such as polyesters, polyamides and polylactide/glycolide copolymers. For greatly improved performance in extremely polar solvents such as HFIP and trifluoroethanol, we have developed novel "multipore" technology to produce PL HFIPgel, a PS/DVB packing featuring a monodisperse particle size, high pore volume, and high resolution. Using PL HFIPgel avoids issues associated with conventional packings and HFIP, such as excessive curvature of calibration curves, dislocations/shoulders on peaks for polydisperse samples, and poor resolution in the low MW region.

• Highly durable packing prolongs column lifetime in fluorinated polar solvents
• Avoids excessive curvature of calibration curves, dislocations, shoulders, and poor resolution caused by HFIP and similar solvents
• Optimized separation range delivers high performance with no artifacts
