Solvent-peak Separation Columns for
Organic SEC (GPC)
Features
KF-800D
K-800D
• Use this column in combination with a linear column
• By shifting the elution of monomers, polymer additives, and the solvent-peak in low molecular region,
it reduces interferences in the calculation of the molecular weight distribution of polymers and oligomers

Cellulose is known to be difficult
to dissolve. A cellulose solution
is prepared by repeating solvent
replacement. It is reported that it
requires a long time to dissolve
(1 to 60 days), depending on the
solvent type, crystallinity and
molecular weight.
