Requirements for the characterization of natural polysaccharides, used as adjuvant therapies, such as Dextran or Heparin, have become more complex with specific characterization workflows to conform with regulatory standards. Commonly used detectors like refractive index (RI) and Ultra-violet light (UV) may fail to give all the needed information. We therefore present a GPC/SEC analysis enabling use of molar mass sensitive detectors as well as workflows satisfying USP and EP standards through compliant software.
