GPC Standards

Pharmacosmos GPC Standards provide a unique collection of 10 GPC standards (Gel Permeation Chromatography standards) for molecular weight determination. The GPC standards cover a molecular weight range from 1,000 Daltons to 670,000 Daltons.

The GPC standards are delivered with a complete set of specifications including weight average molecular weight Mw, number average molecular weight Mn, and mean peak molecular weight Mp. Differential and integral molecular weight distributions are provided in both graphical and tabular form (please see below).

Data Samples for GPC Standard Collection

The files below illustrate Dextran GPC standards data and charts for the entires GPC standard series. Please note that individual datafiles are available within the individual GPC standard pages.

The GPC Standard data are unique for a given Batch No. When ordering GPC standards from Pharmacosmos, please note that the Batch No. may be different from the examples given here.
