Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) has become a popular technique for preparative chromatography. Daicel Chiral Technologies offers chiral columns specifically designed for SFC applications, including preparative and semi-preparative applications.
This Chiralcel column has an inner diameter of 4.6 mm, a length of 150 mm and a particle size of 3.0 µm.
The SFC offers two key advantages for a range of preparative separations:
Speed: The viscosity of the mobile phase is very low, enabling fast, efficient separations and high production rates.
Low solvent consumption: The SFC consumes only a small volume of organic solvent - only 10-20% of the solvent required for an HPLC separation. This low solvent consumption facilitates and accelerates the recovery of products from the small amounts of modifiers.
Daicel's chiral columns are designed and built to perform consistently year after year, providing long-term savings.
