Abstract
A new approach for the calibration of SEC-light scattering (SEC-LS) setups is proposed, which requires solely the molar mass of a reference polymer. Neither the specific refractive index increment of the calibrant nor of the analyte is required. Comparison of the molar masses derived in different solvents for a large number of chemically different polymers shows that the new approach yields the same molar masses as if molar masses were derived using dn/dc to calibrate the light scattering setup. The approach therefore allows easier determination of molar masses by SEC-LS.
