Molecular weight (Mw)and Polydispersity (Pd):
| Standards | PS-OBG- 10 | PS-OBG- 30 | PS-OBG- 80 | PS-OBG- 200 | PS-OBG- 300 | PS-OBG- 500 | PS-OBG- 700 | PS-OBG- 900 | 
| Mw X10-4 | 1.1 | 3.1 | 8.1 | 19.06 | 29.0 | 50.0 | 72.0 | 89.0 | 
| Pd | 1.02 | 1.03 | 1.03 | 1.03 | 1.05 | 1.05 | 1.05 | 1.05 | 
Molecular weights were determined by Viscotek triple detector array system including size exclusion chromatography, refractive index detector and light scattering detector using a 90o angle geometry. dn/dc = 0.146

Method of dissolution: 
           1.   Measure a specified amount of standards in a sample bottle; 
           2.   Add distilled water and dissolve it at 60¡æ for 15-30minutes, stir the water gently until they dissolve homegeneously with the water; 
           3.   Filtrate the solution with a 0.45 ¦̀m filter and a standard solution will be obtained. 
Storage: 
           1.   Store dry at room temperature in well sealed containers. Under these conditions, the product is stable for several years
           2.   When in a liquid state, keep it in a refrigerator at 4¡æ. If filtrated with a 0.45 ¦̀m filter and added 0.02 wt% sodium azide as an antiseptic, it can be preserved at 4¡æ for 2 months.
