YMC Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) Columns
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. All YMC SFC columns are specifically packed in a SFC compatible hardware and are tested under SFC conditions. Alcyon SFC columns are characterised by:
- 10 chiral/achiral phases (+ 4 additional phases)
- hardware especially dedicated to SFC use
- analytical or preparative scale application
- YMC's hallmark attention to particle and chemistry specifications and quality
- column certificate in SFC mode
