Hello, I am interested in :
POLYSTYRENE 44000
POLYSTYRENE MW 17000
II would like to know which solvent is recommended to dilute these polystyrene?
It looks like the toluene must be a good solvent but I want to be sure.

Thank you.

It seems to me that all these polysterne standards are quality tested with THF and it is very common for using GPC separation. So it always depends on what your sample is solved in or separated in. Toluene is possible as well some other solvents.
