The general flow rate of a semi-micro column (4.6mm I.D.) is 0.3mL/min. The eluent can pass through HK-404L column at a higher flow rate with the conventional HPLC instrument. Polystyrene was analyzed using a flow rate of 0.3mL/min and 1.0mL/min. When the flow rate was raised to 1.0mL/min, the molecular chains were not degraded.

Sample : Polystyrene
Column : Shodex GPC HK-404L (4.6mmI.D. x 150mm) Eluent : THF Detector : UV(254nm) (small cell volume) Column temp. : 40°C
