Waters and Malvern Panalytical agree polymer characterisation alliance

Waters has announced a new co-marketing agreement with Malvern Panalytical aimed at advancing the analysis and characterisation of polymers.

The alliance will pair the Waters Acquity Advanced Polymer Chromatography system with Malvern Panalytical's Omnisec Reveal platform, allowing scientists to access more sensitive, higher-resolution data than ever before.

Coupling these systems provides the ability to calculate absolute molecular weight, intrinsic viscosity and hydrodynamic radius, making it easier to predict polymer behaviour in solutions and product matrices, and giving a more comprehensive structural understanding.

This collaboration will help labs to account for the emergence of new and increasingly complex polymers with greater structural and compositional diversity, which is driving the development of advanced analytical and separation technologies for polymer characterisation.

It is hoped that the new combined platform will facilitate the analysis of both natural and synthetic polymers, providing visibility of details that would otherwise be missed, and leading to better product performance.

Jeff Mazzeo, vice-president of marketing at Waters, said: "Waters takes great pride in collaborating with innovative companies like Malvern Panalytical to solve complex molecular characterisation challenges."
