New found treasure: "Modern Size Exclusion Liquid Chromatography " book, endorsed  resource for serious SEC practitioners      

Authored by Andre Striegel, Wallace W. Yau, Joseph J. Kirkland, Donald D. Bly, and published by Wiley, the book "Modern Size-Exclusion Liquid Chromatography: Practice of Gel Permeation and Gel Filtration Chromatography", 2nd Edition makes incredible updates to the SEC technique, incorporating  all the advances made to the practice of SEC since 1979.

We highly recommend this resource

New Eco-friendly product line: PSS Micro Columns
PSS is happy to announce the launching of a new product line, the PSS Micro Columns. The new micro columns are optimized for semi-micro GPC/SEC and perfectly suited for the EcoSEC semi-micro GPC-System. These columns were engineered to meet the highest of expectations based on the stationary phases used for PSS analytical columns; with the advantage of reducing solvent use by up to 60%.   A new set of part numbers was established for the new product line, as reflected in the product sheet .

PSS-USA successful Size Exclusion Chromatography "Basic Training" attracts scientists and competitors alike.
With a track record of six webcast seminars to date, PSS-USA has successfully transferred knowledge of the science of Size Separation to practitioners of Size Exclusion Chromatography from PhD researchers, to sales representatives of GPC instruments and consumables, receiving positive evaluations from the students.

Qualitative and quantitative characterization of membranes can be easily achieved using standard Size Exclusion Chromatography equipment, widely used to differentiate molecules by size and molar mass. A chromatographic comparison procedure offers a straight forward route to identifying membrane characteristics such as pore size distribution, average pore size and molecular cut-off faster than with other methods. PSS WinGPC Unity MCDC Software includes the membrane analysis option as a standard feature, in addition to powerful functionality.

Polymer Standards Service is fully dedicated to the advancement of Macromolecular Liquid Chromatography, by means of research, design and innovation, manufacturing, service, teaching, and comprehensive solutions in close cooperation with reputable instrument manufacturers. PSS applies the highest standard of expertise and reliability. PSS focuses on integrating existing equipment, resources and techniques to synergistically optimize the output of Liquid Chromatography techniques, used alone or in connection with other methodologies (HPLC, FTIR, NMR, etc.), to unveil the true nature of macromolecules.
