“…The SEC/MALLS/RI analysis system comprising a SEC column (KD-806M, Shodex, Japan), a MALLS detector (DAWN HELEOS-II, λ = 658 nm, Wyatt Technologies, USA), and an RI detector (RID-10A, Shimadzu, Japan), and 1.0% w/v LiCl/DMAc, 0.5% w/v LiCl/DMAc, or 1.0% w/v LiCl/DMI was used as eluents. Other SEC attachments and the operation conditions are described elsewhere. , The d n /d c value of each polymer or cellobiose was obtained from the SEC/MALLS/RI data using the attached software according to eq , assuming 100% mass recovery. This method requires accurate injection volumes and sample concentrations, and also needs all sample molecules to be eluted off the column. where α is a RI detector instrument constant, W injected is the injected mass, ∑Δ v i is the volume of the slice, and V i and V baseline are the RI signal and baseline voltages, respectively.…”
