Polymer Standards and Reference Materials
PSS is one of the world's largest manufacturers of aqueous and organic reference polymers, specialty polymers, and customer-designed polymers. A great selection of polymer types in a wide range of molar masses is produced regularly.
List of PSS molar mass and validation standards - all polymer types
The PSS reference materials are characterized extensively by modern analytical methods. PSS cooperates with national and international institutes (e.g. BAM, EMPA) to produce standards and reference materials which will be applied world-wide.
Standards and reference materials are available for various purposes:
- GPC/SEC molar mass standards
- DIN certified GPC/SEC molar mass standards
- MALDI validation standards
- Light Scattering/Viscometry validation standards
- Certified Particle Size Standards
Their suitability for a given application depends on the polydispersity, or the level of characterization.
Molar mass standards come as individual standards or assembled into GPC/SEC calibration kits. The kit components are carefully selected to cover given molecular weight ranges to establish GPC/SEC calibration curves.
