Figure 8 Calibration curves <strong>of</strong> solid-bead HdC columns. Columns, ¼3mm,<br />

4 ¼ 5mm, W ¼ 10mm; mobile phase, THF with 250ppm BHT, at 1.0mL/min; column<br />

temperature, 508C.<br />

range <strong>of</strong> the three columns are approximately the same. The curve <strong>of</strong> the 3mm<br />

column turns upward above 3 10 6 MW,while both 5mm <strong>and</strong> 10mm columns<br />

do not reach their upper MW limits with the available PS st<strong>and</strong>ards, up to<br />

7:5 10 6 .It seems that the 10mm column would separate the highest MW range<br />

among three columns. For an ideal SEC/HdC column, it is possible to adjust the<br />

SECseparationsothattheportion<strong>of</strong>thecalibrationcurvefor5 10 5 <strong>and</strong>belowis<br />

colinear with the HdC high MW portion <strong>of</strong> the curve. This adjustment can be<br />

accomplished by controlling the total pore volume <strong>of</strong> the packing gel.<br />

As discussed previously,the slope <strong>of</strong> an SEC calibration curve depends on<br />

the pore volume. Figure 2shows the calibration curve <strong>of</strong> an SEC separation in a<br />
