YMC offers chiral and achiral phases for supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) applications to provide the chemist with a number of options for SFC separations.
SFC can offer some advantages over HPLC for similar applications. The low viscosity of supercritical carbon dioxide allows for analytical separations 3-5 times faster than those for normal phase HPLC. Speed of the SFC separations, conservation of organic solvents, and more concentrated product fractions make SFC a desirable preparative chromatographic technique for purifying chemical mixtures.
YMC's columns are 100% compatible with SFC conditions. Further, Alcyon SFC columns are available, which are specifically packed in a SFC compatible hardware and are tested under SFC conditions.
YMC SFC columns are characterised by:
conventional LC hardware 100% compatible with SFC (statement available)
achiral and chiral (coated and immobilised) phases
analytical or preparative scale
hardware especially dedicated to SFC use available (Alcyon SFC)
column certificate in SFC mode (for Alcyon SFC columns)
