Size exclusion-based chromatography is known as gel permeation chromatography. It is most frequently employed to ascertain the polymers molecular weight distribution, which verifies the purity of the analyte. Various analyte components are also separated based on how well they adhere to stationary phase. Depending on the analyte and packing material of the column, both aqueous and non-aqueous mobile phases are utilised in gel permeation chromatography. One can employ a range of detectors, including those that measure concentration, provide information on the size and structure of analytes, measure light scattering, measure refractive index, and use a viscometer.
The market for Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) is anticipated to reach US$ 1,304.4 million in 2022 and grow at a CAGR of 7.2% during the following five years (2022-2030).
Leading Companies in the Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) Industry:
1. Agilent Technologies
Agilent headquarters in Santa Clara, California, is trusted by analytical scientists and clinical researchers all over the world to help them meet their most demanding laboratory requirements.
The new Agilent GPC/SEC software for gel permeation/size exclusion chromatography has been released, according to Agilent Technologies Inc., with improved measurement and reporting capabilities for the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
2. Waters Corporation
Waters Corporation headquartered at Milford, Massachusetts is a global leader in analytical instruments and software.
Compared to conventional gel permeation chromatography, the system significantly improves polymer peak resolution, especially for low molecular weight polymers and oligomers (GPC).
3. Malvern Panalytical
Malvern, headquarters in Malvern, United Kingdom, have merged into one and are now a member of Spectris plc, the leading precision measurements Group.
On June 16, 2020, it will be crucial to determine a macromolecule's molecular characteristics because they all have an impact on the material's physical properties and behaviour both in the final product and during processing. Size exclusion chromatography (SEC), also known as gel permeation chromatography (GPC), is one of the most effective tools that can be used to measure and assess these parameters.
