Abstract:
A method for sampling a plurality of polymer samples, the method comprising(a) withdrawing a first polymer sample from a first container at a first location into a probe of an auto-sampler at a first withdrawal time, t.sub.ASW1,(b) delivering at least a portion of the withdrawn first sample to an injection port or a loading port of a polymer characterization system,(c) after steps (a) and (b), withdrawing a second polymer sample from a second container at a second location into the auto-sampler probe at a second withdrawal time, t.sub.ASW2, the difference in time, t.sub.ASW2 -t.sub.ASW1, being not more than about 40 seconds, anddelivering at least a portion of the withdrawn second sample to the injection port or the loading port of the polymer characterization system.
