Milton Roy's LALLS detector series for size exclusion chromatography employs the proven principal of low angle laser light scattering to determine absolute molecular weights of effluents from a GPC. While other methods may provide inferential MW values only LALLS produces a direct and reproducible value for samples like thermoplastics, epoxy resins and biologicals. But you don't need to take our word for it; Milton Roy will perform a trial analysis on your material before you buy. MILTON ROY'S EXPANDED SERVICE NETWORK Now Milton Roy instrument

To assist analytical laboratories, Scott started a cross reference gas analysis program in 1964, handling all sample preparation, dissemination, statistical analysis and issuing of reports. The plot of coefficient of variation (CV) vs time excerpts 12 years from this study during which more than 100 industrial, government and independent testing laboratories participated. Separate curves for CO, C02, NO and total hydrocarbons were averaged and a regresl Youden. W. J., Graphical diagnosis of interlaboratory test results. Industrial Quality Control. 15. {5) 24-28 (1959)
Scott services now include natural gas, 0 2 , S02 and other compounds of environmental significance. If you want to learn how it may help you detect and correct unsuspected sources of analytical bias—and how subscribers can use it in litigation and for proving compliance—get in touch with Ron Geib at Scott.
