The maximum value of the molar mass or
molecular weight of molecules or particles, in a specific
polymer solvent system, that can enter into the pores of the porous non-adsorbing material used in
size-
exclusion chromatography. For particles with molar mass or
molecular weight larger than the exclusion limit the separation effect of the size-
exclusion chromatography vanishes.
