Shimadzu Scientific has released an application note for its AXIMA mass spectrometer research for analysis of synthetic polymers.
The application note, entitled 'Analysis of Polymers by MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry' is available online.
The application note presents results obtained following the analysis of two polymer samples.
Results are presented demonstrating the polymer analysis tools for processing MALDI polymer data.
The results of the polymer analysis software demonstrate that it is possible to calculate and report distribution information or identify components of different copolymers present in a sample.
Shimadzu said polymer analysis can be difficult to control and polymer analysis tools that can process the large number of peaks and identify the species present in polymers are essential to testing.
