Daicel Chiral Technologies HPLC Columns

Chiral substances play an important role in modern medical and biotechnological applications. In order to achieve a fast, reliable and economical isolation of enantiomers, you will find all packing materials from Chiral in the Analytics Shop.

Daicel Chiral Technologies has continuously expanded its range of chiral columns. The company now produces columns for HPLC and UHPLC, SFC, MPLC/TLC and preparative chromatography. You can find all product lines in our shop:

CHIRALPAK® and CHIRALCEL® HPLC Columns

CHIRALPAK® and CHIRALCEL® are probably the best known chiral chromatography columns on the market. They are available not only as analytical columns and/or for small-scale separations, but also for commercial separations. Daicel's chiral columns offer excellent resolution of racemates, fast and easy method development and long lifetime - making them indispensable tools in the pharmaceutical industry.

The latest product developments from Daicel Chiral are immobilized CSP, CHIRALPAK® IA, IB, IC, ID, IE and IF. These innovations give researchers access to a wider range of chromatographic solvents.

CROWNPAK® Columns

Daicel CROWNPAK® CR(+) and CR(-) columns are packed with chiral crown ether stationary phases. They are designed for the separation of chiral amino acids and other small molecules with a primary amino group in the chiral center. CROWNPAK® CR-I(+) and CR-I(-) are equipped with immobilized selectors. This expands the range of mobile phase solvents and improves the enantioselective separation of chiral compounds.

DCPAK® Columns

Daicel Chiral Technologies markets polymeric achiral phases under the DCPAK® series. They are extremely robust and versatile. While direct derivatization can lead to rapid column failure and shortened column lifetime, the polymeric phases in DCpak columns can withstand even the most demanding conditions. Choose from four variants:

  • DCpak PBT for flavonoids, caffeine derivatives and terpenes
  • DCpak P4VP for polymeric poly(4-vinylpyridine)
  • DCpak PTZ for hydrophilic compounds
  • DCpak PMPC for polymeric poly(2-methacryloyloxyethylphosphorylcholine)

History of Daicel Chiral Technologies

The company's history began at the beginning of the 20th century in Japan with a celluloid factory. The expertise gained in cellulose chemistry eventually enabled the development of chiral columns. The company capitalized on a discovery: The optically active polymethacrylate triphenylmethyl and the filler that carries it on silica gel are ideal for optical isomer separation. The chiral column was born: In the early 1980s, Daicel introduced chiral columns with optical isomer separation. Today, researchers around the world use chiral columns for research and development, production and quality assurance of chiral drugs.
