Pricing And Payment Terms Are Available On The Merx Website.Description Of Procurementthe University Is Conducting An Rfp For Gel Permeation Chromatographythe Size, Or Molecular Weight, Of A Polymer Is One Of The Most Important Factors In Determining Physical Properties. Viscosity, Degree Of Crystallinity, Stiffness, Bioavailability, Conductivity, And Other Properties Are All Intimately Associated With Molecular Weight. Size Exclusion Chromatography (Sec) Is A Ubiquitous Equipment To Determine The Molecular Weight; However, Typical Detection Methods Widespread At University Of Toronto (Uoft) Inaccurately Determine The Molecular Weight. The Requested Sec System Coupled With A Multi-Angle Light Scattering Technique, The First Of Its Type At Uoft, Will Enable The Local Polymer Research Community To Determine Absolute Molecular Weight. Moreover, The Selected Solvent System Of Chloroform Is Missing From Uoft, Which Is The Only Solvent Which Solubilizes The New Conjugated Polymers Developed By The Tran Group.The Procurement Is Anticipated To Involve Negotiation.
