Creation of a new position to support systems for high temperature GPC and rapid polymer screening, plus range of laser-light scattering instruments for absolute molecular weight characterisation
Polymer Laboratories (PL) announces the creation of a new European specialist's position to support PL's systems for high temperature GPC and rapid polymer screening product range, plus the Precision Detectors range of laser-light scattering instruments for absolute molecular weight characterisation.
Huub Bock, sales manager for Polymer Laboratories's Benelux operation, has taken up the role of European specialist, to provide a heightened product focus for these expanding product ranges.
His extensive experience with instrumentation puts Huub in an ideal position to support the PL-GPC 220 HTGPC chromatograph, PL XT-20 and PL RS-20 rapid GPC polymer screening systems and PD2000 series of absolute MW characterisation products, operating in PL's direct sales territories of the Benelux, Germany and France.
A graduate in analytical chemistry from the Free University of Amsterdam, Huub joined PL to support the company's sophisticated systems for the characterisation of polymers.
Huub formed a direct sales operation for Polymer Laboratories in the Benelux in 1990, followed by a joint development of the German and Benelux territories, and helped establish a direct German operation.
A particular interest in software programming led Huub to write his own solvent optimisation program for HPLC, as well as developing custom applications running PL's GPC software packages, with a special interest in detection techniques.
Huub will continue to run the Benelux office, and support all Benelux sales activities. He is married with children, and enjoys amateur dramatics.
