What Does GPC Stand For?
GPC stands for Gel Permeation Chromatograph
GPC, or Gel Permeation Chromatography, is a highly specialized analytical technique used to separate and characterize polymers and macromolecules based on their size. By utilizing a column packed with porous gel beads, GPC allows for the discrimination of molecules based on their hydrodynamic volume in solution. This method is essential in determining molecular weight distribution, helping researchers and manufacturers assess the physical properties and behavior of polymer samples in various applications.
