Tips & Tricks: GPC/SEC Viscometry - A Versatile Tool for Structure Determination and More

In comparison to other GPC/SEC detectors such as light-scattering detectors or UV detectors, viscometers need more care. It takes a longer time to get a stable baseline after changing from one solvent to another and the quality of the LC components plays an important role. Nevertheless, a viscometer is worth these efforts as it provides unique information that is not available with any other detector.
