Why WinGPC Software for GPC/SEC analysis?
Explore the capabilities of WinGPC software for accurate GPC/SEC analysis, molecular characterization, compliance support, and control of Agilent GPC/SEC instrumentation.
Advanced detection: Comprehensive Light Scattering and Viscometry Analysis
WinGPC delivers advanced GPC/SEC characterization with integrated light scattering and viscometry workflows. The software combines concentration, multi-angle light scattering, and viscometer data to determine absolute molecular weight distributions, intrinsic viscosity, radius of gyration (Rg), and polymer structure information. Intuitive visualization, guided detector setup, and comprehensive reporting accelerate the analysis of polymers, biopolymers, and other macromolecules.
From elution volume to molecular weight: calibration in WinGPC
The WinGPC Software offers powerful calibration management with interactive calibration curves, flexible fitting models, and comprehensive standard evaluation. Real-time visualization of chromatograms, molecular weight distributions, and calibration performance helps ensure data quality while supporting conventional, universal, light scattering, and viscometry-based analyses for confident polymer characterization.
Compliance edition with audit trails and user groups
WinGPC supports compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements through features such as audit trails for the administration console, sessions, instruments, and injections. User groups, roles, and privileges can be configured to support different levels of user access.
Instrument control
Full support for Agilent GPC/SEC systems, including all multidetector modules, the Agilent 1260 Infinity II Multi-Angle Light Scattering Detector, and the Agilent 1260 Infinity II GPC/SEC Column Thermostat.
How it works
WinGPC Workstation
WinGPC is a complete and flexible GPC/SEC software solution made by chromatography experts for both GPC/SEC experts and novices. It is designed specifically for analysis of the heterogeneity of macromolecules and distributions. WinGPC offers unparalleled functionality and calibration options to enhance your lab productivity.
WinGPC compliance support
To fulfill the requirements for analytical quality and efficacy, workflows including software need to be in line with federal regulations. Accordingly, WinGPC software is designed to help to maintain compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements. Software features—such as data integrity, accuracy, user authorization, and traceability—help make regulatory compliance easier for analytical labs that use macromolecular chromatography.
More sustainable operation in your GPC/SEC analysis
Intelligent method setup without compromising the analytical outcome is the goal of sustainability- and efficiency-driven optimization in the analytical lab.
With the WinGPC software overlapping injection feature, up to 30% of overall time can be saved by reducing the redundant time between injections coming from column interstitial volume. Overlapping injection can be applied with all types of columns—independent of length and diameter—keeping resolution and analytical conditions the same.

Applications
GPC/SEC applications - what you should know when you need to analyze polymers, biopolymers, and proteins
Seven sections in this eBook describe various powerful gel permeation and size exclusion chromatography applications and use cases in detail when you need to analyze polymers, biopolymers, and proteins.
Preventing waste with overlapping injection function in WinGPC
Agilent WinGPC Overlapping Injection function enables a sample to be injected before the previous sample has completely eluted, saving solvent and analysis time.
Guided detector setup for all detector types using WinGPC
To evaluate measurements and obtain correct results using light scattering detectors or viscometers, several factors must be determined. This note describes how necessary parameters for all detectors and combinations can be determined using the Agilent WinGPC Software detector setup dialog box.
