Polymer Laboratories announces licensing agreement with Symyx Technologies to develop solutions for materials discovery and online and real-time process control/monitoring systems
Polymer Laboratories has licensed Symyx's patented high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC and GPC) and flow injection (FIA) technologies to develop and bring to market a range of commercial products.
This licence enables PL to provide the scientific community with direct and affordable access to this Symyx technology, which dramatically increases the speed of polymer molecular weight analysis, the most common polymer characterisation measurement.
"Polymer Laboratories is a leading supplier of instruments for polymer analysis.
The addition of Symyx's high throughput polymer measurement technologies will enable us to provide our customers with advanced analytical solutions in the spheres of materials discovery and online and real-time process control/monitoring systems", says Frank Warner, chairman and managing director of Polymer Laboratories.
"This agreement demonstrates that we are continuing our strategy of selectively licensing our technology for use in certain high throughput instruments, and are pleased to commercialise these polymer analysis techniques with such a strong partner", says Steve Goldby, chairman and chief executive of Symyx Technologies.
