HPSEC of Cationic Polymers on a Polyamine Support

Abstract
High performance steric exclusion chromatography of polyvinyl-pyridines (PVP) on silica particles coated with polymerized amine (SynChropak CATSEC) is described. PVP standards were analyzed first on a conventional neutral support (SynChropak GPC), and the results were compared with the amine coated silica. Conditions for analysis were then examined for optimization. Linear recovery was observed for a PVP standard of M.W. 3,000.
