Method Development Services for Macromolecules
Develop robust methods for complex macromolecules
- A robust method is the key to reliable, consistent, and precise results. Agilent will work with you on various aspects of method validation and development for macromolecular analysis using GPC/SEC, interaction polymer chromatography (IPC), and two-dimensional chromatography (2D-LC). Our specialists will help you identify and optimize the best method for your analytical requirements and, subsequently, provide you with a project plan, which may include several phases depending on the project's progression.
- One-on-one collaboration with Agilent experts to determine your goals and design an appropriate macromolecular analysis method
- GPC/SEC method development with a specialist
- Identification of a detection method that fits your specific analytical request
- Identification of a suitable Agilent column and appropriate eluent
- Integration of other characterization methods such as gradient chromatography (optional)
- Specialist evaluation of method robustness
- Validation of analytical method to fulfil your needs
- Specialist assistance in transferring the analytical method into your laboratory, including installation, validation, and training
- Consultancy services in a variety of areas of macromolecular science

How to submit a macromolecular sample
In order to have our specialists perform analysis of your macromolecular samples, you will need to submit them to us. There is a simple process to follow when sending your samples to us, as well as a few sample requirements.
More information on how to submit samples can be found here.
Techniques we use for macromolecular analysis
The techniques we use allow analysis of virtually any macromolecule you require, including, proteins, rubbers, nylons, resins, polymers, biopolymers, composites, and many more. Agilent uses GPC/SEC/GFC, high-temperature GPC (HT-GPC), interaction polymer chromatography (IPC), two-dimensional chromatography (2D-LC), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and attenuated total reflectance infrared (ATR-IR) for the successful determination of molar mass distribution, chemical composition, material properties, and more.
Learn here about the techniques we use to analyze your samples. Other techniques are available on request.
