EcoSEC - the first semi-micro GPC/SEC system for high throughput polymer analysis
Less solvent consumption, increased sensitivity & shorter analysis times

EcoSEC is a compact all–in–one system for high throughput analysis of natural or synthetic polymers by semi-micro gel permeation chromatography (GPC/SEC). EcoSEC combines pumps, an injector, a column oven and a refractive index detector in an integrated system. Technical highlights like the temperature controlled solvent delivery system for maximum reproducibility and the dual flow RI detector for stable RI baseline together with the low system dead volume fulfil all hardware requirements for improved resolution and sensitivity in GPC analysis.

Tosoh Bioscience TSK-GEL SuperMultipore and SuperH series semi-micro GPC columns are ideally suited to be combined with EcoSEC, as semi-micro GPC offers additional benefits like shorter analysis times, less sample and solvent consumption and even higher separation efficiency. For special applications EcoSEC can be upgraded with a column switching valve and UV, viskosity and light scattering detectors. The well known PSS WinGPC software controls the entire system and performs data acquisition and GPCdata analysis.

The EcoSEC SEC/GPC system will be presented to the European GPC users at Analytica 2008. In Europe EcoSEC is distributed in cooperation with PSS Polymer Standards Service, one of the leading companies for polymer characterization.
