EcoSEC HIGH TEMPERATURE GPC SYSTEM
A TRADITION OF GPC EXCELLENCE
Tosoh Bioscience established itself as a world leader
in the field of polymer analysis in 1971 with the introduction
of TSKgel GPC columns. The following year, Tosoh
launched a dedicated instrument for GPC analysis. Since
that first instrument there have been 7 generations
