Shodex KF GPC Columns for NMP Solvent Compatibility

Record: 921


Category: Column Selection
Product: KF series
Sample: NMP


Question
Can NMP (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) be used as a solvent for GPC, and which Shodex columns are recommended?

Answer

Yes, NMP can be used as a solvent for GPC. Between the Shodex LF and KF series:

  • KF series is recommended for use with NMP.

    • Polymer-based packing material with higher chemical resistance.

    • Compatible with polar organic solvents like NMP and DMF.

    • Suitable for analysis of engineering plastics and other polymers soluble in NMP.

  • LF series is not recommended with NMP due to lower solvent compatibility.

Summary:
For GPC in NMP, use the KF series columns rather than LF.
