Determining Lentinan Molecular Weight Using the BeSEC
Abstract: Lentinan is a bioactive polysaccharide whose molecular weight strongly influences its immunomodulatory and functional properties. In this study, size-exclusion chromatography coupled with static light scattering and refractive index detection was employed to determine the absolute molecula...
Analysis of Graphite's Particle Size in a Convenient Way Using Laser Diffraction
Graphite is commonly used in anode material manufacturing. However, the measurement of graphite particles often meets problems in the dispersion step due to their small particle size. In this note, Bettersizer ST is used, and the sample is prepared using dish detergent. The simple measurement proced...
Exploring Dendrimer Generations Using the BeSEC
Abstract: Dendrimers are highly branched macromolecules whose molecular weight increases systematically with generation, yet their compact architecture often leads to underestimation by conventional SEC calibration. In this study, size-exclusion chromatography coupled with static light scattering an...
