Chiral Columns from YMC
Chirality has become vitally important in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, food and related products due to the different pharmacological or taste/odour effects which the different optical isomers can present. The pharmacological effects can range from no activity through undesirable effects to having potentially life threatening adverse effects. This has led to the development of highly efficient chiral stationary phases (CSP) for analytical and preparative scale separations.
