Evaluation of Plastic Materials Analysis and Fractionation of Additives and Impurities Using HPLC and Preparative
LC Systems
Additives to polymer materials and products have various important functions that can determine product performance, such
as heat resistance or structural integrity. Impurities can affect the quality of products, making them less stable or resilient. HPLC
systems are used to separate and quantitate many different additives and impurities, whereas preparative LC systems are used to
separate and fractionate large quantities of additives and impurities for purposes such as structural analysis.

Evaluation of Raw Materials Features of Shimadzu Prominence Series High-
Performance Liquid Chromatographs
The Prominence series was developed to improve the efficiency of analytical processes
and improve operating and data reliability. Prominence HPLC systems offer new features
and outstanding performance compared to previous models, such as Web-based
monitoring and control, high-speed sample injection, and high-sensitivity detection.
