Questions answered in nicomp manuals
How can the Nicomp 380 be used to estimate molecular weight?
The instrument calculates molecular weight from the measured diffusion coefficient using an empirical formula (MW = (α/D)¹/β) where α and β are obtained from solvent‑specific constants or calibration data.
What solvents are listed for use with the Nicomp 380?
Appendix D provides a table of non‑aqueous solvents with temperature, viscosity, and refractive index values, such as m‑Nitrotoluene (20 °C, 2.33 cPoise, 1.545 index).
