JASCO|Supercritical Fluid Chromatography, SFC
Feature :
- High Solubility & Low Viscosity
Greater solubility and lower viscosity than liquid phase HPLC for faster column equilibration, faster separations and higher productivity.
- Wide Molecular Structure Coverage
Applicable to a wide range of molecular structures with a wide range of polarities from strongly hydrophobic to strongly hydrophilic.
- Environment-Friendly
SFC uses ‘green’ separation solvents – generally CO2 with alcoholic modifiers – which are much greener than other solvents generally used in HPLC.
- Cost-Effective
Dramatic reduction in solvent costs for both purchase and disposal.
- Simple Operation
SFC easily scales-up from analytical to preparative, method transfer is simple and robust for both chiral and achiral sample purification.
- Optimized
JASCO has been developing packed column SFC and SFE systems for more than 30 years; this evolution has resulted in a user-friendly, robust and powerful SFC-4000 Series.
- Flexible
All SF-4000 series SFC systems can be used for HPLC – simply switch off the cooling and BPR.
- Fast Response Back Pressure Regulator
The BP-4340 high-speed dynamic back-pressure regulator ensures an accurate and constant back pressure (typically within a few psi), regardless of flow rate and with virtually no hysteresis. The extremely low dead volume prevents fractions from remixing and precipitation build-up in the flow line.
- Wide Range of Detectors
Fluorescence, UV-visible, Photometric Diode Array (PDA) and Chiral optical detectors. Non-optical detectors include FID, ELSD and single-quad mass-spec.
- Integrated Modular System
A basic system for each scale can be adapted to suit any application. From modifier selection to column heater type to detector combinations.
- Compatible
JASCO SFC systems are compatible with most Mass Spectrometers and offer integrated control with both Advion CMS and Sciex Analyst.
- Flexible Configurations
The three individual platforms for analytical, semi-prep and preparative scales can be customized to suit all applications.
