Developing differentiated polymers and deploying a sustainable operation are a key focus for the polymer and plastics industries. Current GPC/SEC methods are limited by a lack of resolution, separation times, and the volume of solvent consumed per analysis.
The ACQUITY Advanced Polymer Chromatography (APC™) System is a breakthrough technology that defines the ultimate in size-based chromatographic separations, delivering more information about your polymers faster than ever before. This means better characterization, improved asset utilization and a superior solution for achieving corporate innovation and sustainability goals.
Key Features:
- New Column Technology – ACQUITY APC™ Columns utilize small, high pore volume bridged-ethyl hybrid particles that provide significant gains in stability, flexibility and faster separations.
- Stable Refractive Index Detection – The ACQUITY Refractive Index (RI) Detector is optimized for low dispersion, but with the low noise and drift performance required for accurate integration, even at low polymer concentrations.
- Precise Solvent Management - Precise flow delivery of the isocratic solvent manager ensures calibrated system provides accurate molecular weight data, day after day.
- Advanced Column Heating Module - Ensures highly repeatable thermal environment for banks of ACQUITY APC Columns.
- Empower® 3 Software with GPC option – Quickly and easily review, compare, and report polymer analysis data.
Key Benefits

This infographic outlines the areas where these savings have been made and how ACQUITY UPLC technology has had a positive impact in laboratories for the past decade.
Increasing Chromatographic Productivity and Reducing Solvent Consumption with ACQUITY UPLC
Liquid chromatography has become the mainstay of many quantitative and qualitative analyses in areas such as pharmaceutical drug analysis, environmental monitoring, food testing, and water quality monitoring. This white paper outline that the throughput, selectivity, and specificity achieved with the ACQUITY UPLC® System provides improved chromatographic results while consuming less solvent than traditional HPLC – for more efficient laboratory operations.
High-Speed, High-Resolution Analysis of Low Molecular Weight Polymers Using the Advanced Polymer Chromatography (APC) System
In this application note, separations using the ACQUITY APC System are compared to conventional GPC separations. Faster analysis, improved resolution, and the beneficial effect on calibration of low molecular weight oligomers using a low-dispersion system with sub 3-μm hybrid particle technology columns is illustrated. The combination of these technologies allows more robust and precise determination of molecular weight parameters for low molecular weight polymer samples.
