M. Netopilik, COMBINED EFFECT OF INTERDETECTOR VOLUME AND PEAK SPREADING IN SIZE-EXCLUSION CHROMATOGRAPHY WITH DUAL DETECTION, Polymer, 38(1), 1997, pp. 127-130
The relation between the error in interdetector volume determination a
nd peak spreading was studied for a polymer sample whose molecular wei
ght distribution obeys the log-normal function. A compensation of thes
e quantities was shown, i.e. their values were found for which the rat
io of weight- to number-average molecular weight, <(M)over bar (w)>/<(
M)over bar (n)>, was constant. The influence of non-uniformity in the
molecular weight of the sample on the compensation is demonstrated. Co
