专利汇可以提供Analysis of polymer mixtures in solution utilizing electrophoretic light scattering apparatus专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且An electrophoretic light scattering apparatus for determining the electrophoretic mobility and diffusion coefficient of a macromolecular polymer in solution is disclosed. More particularly, the charged macromolecules are driven through the solution by an electric field developed between two charged electrodes in a modified electrophoretic cell. The electric field is alternately enabled and disabled during the determination to prevent excessive heat build-up in the solution and the resultant convection of macromolecules which would distort the measurements. A laser provides an incident light beam which is passed through the cell perpendicular to the direction of the macromolecule flow so that the autocorrelation function or, alternatively, the frequency spectrum of the light scattered from the macromolecules can be observed at low scattering angles. The scattered light, in addition to having a frequency distribution curve proportional to the diffusion coefficient of the macromolecules, is Doppler shifted by an amount proportional to the electrophoretic mobility of the macromolecule in the scattering region. Because each species of polymers has a unique electrophoretic mobility and hence Doppler shift, the apparatus is useful in quantitatively analyzing a mixture of several different polymers in solution (e.g., life-like enzymes such as blood) to identify the polymers and their relative concentrations.,下面是Analysis of polymer mixtures in solution utilizing electrophoretic light scattering apparatus专利的具体信息内容。
