The OmniSEC Copolymer module from Viscotek, the leader in multiple detection characterisation of synthetic and natural polymers, is the latest addition to the market leading multifunctional GPC/ SEC software.

Able to import and analyse up to six channels of data simultaneously, OmniSEC is able to cope with even the most demanding copolymer multi-detector analyses.

With increasing widespread use of copolymers the OmniSEC Copolymer module corrects the limitations of analysis using only a single detector. This is achieved by ratioing the response from two concentration detectors such as refractive index or UV-visible to rapidly determine copolymer concentration and to generate a true concentration profile. Sample types that will benefit most from the new software module include synthetic polymers such as styrene-butadiene copolymers, PEGylated proteins and natural copolymers such as protein polysaccharides.

Within the new software advanced facility for calculating dn/dc for every slice of copolymer data greatly enhances analytical accuracy and is particularly advantageous when using light scattering detection. New functionality to graph copolymer percent as a function of elution volume and store calibration tables for different copolymer types further increases operational versatility and ease of use.

OmniSEC is the first fully 21CFR part 11 compliant GPC/SEC software package to provide an integrated software solution that helps maximise the information extraction and efficiency of polymer and protein characterisation experiments.
