A new tool enhances chiral supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) method development by enabling rapid screening of 10 columns and 25 tandem column combinations for complex mixture separations.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Chromatography Science

Background:

  • Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) is crucial for separating complex mixtures.
  • Developing optimal SFC methods, especially for stereoisomers, can be time-consuming.
  • Tandem column arrangements offer enhanced separation capabilities but require extensive screening.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an automated tool for efficient screening of tandem column chiral SFC methods.
  • To facilitate the rapid evaluation of multiple column combinations for complex separations.
  • To provide strategies and examples for utilizing the developed screening tool.

Main Methods:

  • Modification of a commercial analytical SFC instrument.
  • Integration of software-controllable, high-pressure column selection valves.
