Tosoh Bioscience EcoSEC High Temperature
The EcoSEC High Temperature GPC System from Tosoh Bioscience is a compact, all-in-one instrument developed for fast, high-resolution gel permeation chromatography at elevated temperatures – up to 220°C. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-temperature polymer analysis, such as for polyolefins, the system delivers reliable, reproducible results within a robust and user-friendly platform.
Building on the proven technology of the ambient EcoSEC GPC System, the High Temperature model integrates every key component into an all-in-one design. Its dual pump solvent delivery system, dual flow refractive index (RI) detector, and total system temperature control ensure precise and stable operation, even under demanding analytical conditions. The large column oven accommodates multiple columns and provides uniform heating for optimal separation performance.
The system can also be upgraded with a High Temperature Viscometer Detector, extending its analytical capabilities for comprehensive polymer characterisation.
