Major Products/Services
The company offers the broadest range of instruments and analytical services for polyolefin characterization, highlighting:
- GPC-IR: the new generation of high temperature GPC, providing key-benefits, such as a separate column oven compartment, an automated in-line filtration, no solvent handling, no vials transfer, fully automated sample preparation, and multiple detectors (concentration and composition by IR4 or IR5 MCT, light scattering, and viscometer).
- GPC One Software: the most modern and comprehensive software platform for high temperature GPC calculations.
- CRYSTEX: automated and highly precise Xylene Solubles measurement with no solvents handling, including sample preparation and final cleaning.
- HT-HPLC: new developments in separation technology for low crystallinity or amorphous polyolefins, such as TG-IC (thermal gradient interaction chromatography), solvent gradient IC, or 2 dimensional chromatography (HPLC × SEC).
Facilities
Polymer Char is headquartered in the Valencia Technology Park of Spain, boasting a new 20,000-square-foot state-of-the-art complex that includes its corporate offices, production factilities, and one of the most modern polyolefin R&D laboratories in the world. Together with its official distributors, the company supplies, trains, and supports customers worldwide.

AI and GenAI Applications to Help Optimize Purification and Yield of Antibodies From Plasma
October 31st 2024Deriving antibodies from plasma products involves several steps, typically starting from the collection of plasma and ending with the purification of the desired antibodies. These are: plasma collection; plasma pooling; fractionation; antibody purification; concentration and formulation; quality control; and packaging and storage. This process results in a purified antibody product that can be used for therapeutic purposes, diagnostic tests, or research. Each step is critical to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the final product. Applications of AI/GenAI in many of these steps can significantly help in the optimization of purification and yield of the desired antibodies. Some specific use-cases are: selecting and optimizing plasma units for optimized plasma pooling; GenAI solution for enterprise search on internal knowledge portal; analysing and optimizing production batch profitability, inventory, yields; monitoring production batch key performance indicators for outlier identification; monitoring production equipment to predict maintenance events; and reducing quality control laboratory testing turnaround time.
