Abstract

We present a strategy to create an absolute molecular mass distribution polymer Standard Reference Material. To create a standard our methods must be free of operator bias (intentional or unintentional). The steps include sample preparation, instrument tuning, data collection, data analysis, and signal intensity calibration.
