Preparative Fractionation PREP mc2

Description

Polymer Char's PREP mc2 is a preparative fractionation instrument that isolates physical fractions from polymer samples. It can process two different samples simultaneously, with each run capable of producing up to 16 total fractions (or up to 8 fractions per sample when running two in parallel). The system performs automated fractionation based on either molar mass or chemical composition, utilizing TREF or CRYSTAF methodologies. A complete automated run typically concludes in less than 24 hours. The hardware and software are designed for flexibility, supporting various fractionation methods. For analyzing low-crystallinity samples, the instrument offers subambient operation with temperatures as low as -20°C. The resulting fractions are collected for further characterization using analytical techniques including GPC, TREF, CRYSTAF, NMR, FTIR, or DSC.
