PolyTools – Interpretation of MALDI Polymer Spectra

Calculations of the average molecular weights Mn and Mw as well as the detection of end-groups play a important role in the characterization of synthetic polymers.

PolyTools is designed for the rapid determination of monomer units and end groups of oligomeric resolved polymer mass spectra. Characteristic values of the polymer, such as weight average molecular weight (MW), number average molecular weight (MN), polydispersity and degree of polymerization are automatically calculated from the mass spectra.
