Hydrodynamic Chromatography

Table 1, which also includes relative molecular mass data obtained from sequencing the solutes. It is seen that fairly accurate values for relative molecular mass can be obtained for the larger molecules, which can be extremely useful when dealing with completely unknown biopolymers. The errors involved are signiRcantly greater for the materials of smaller relative molecular mass because the response (the amount of light scattered) is much less, and the output signal is much closer to the noise level of the sensing system. Further discussion of these types of detector are furnished in references provided in the Further Reading section.
