What Are the Applications of Molecular Weight Analysis?

  • Monitor degradation, allowing you to detect changes that might compromise quality. 

  • Compare different product lots, validating composition with molecular weight determination. 

  • Find root cause. Deviations in molecular weight from the expected values can point to changes in composition, process errors, or contamination. 


  • Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC)

  • Dilute Solution or Intrinsic Viscometry (IV)

  • Melt Flow Index (MFI)

  • Static Light Scattering (SLS)
