Phenomenex has released a new line of supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC)-certified columns.
These columns expand the potential uses of SFC separations to analytical and preparative applications.
SFC offers several advantages over HPLC, including improved resolution, faster separations and higher throughput.
The technique also reduces the use of toxic solvents.
SFC columns can be used in pharmaceutical and academic research as well as medicinal chemistry.
Phenomenex's new SFC offerings represent three of the company's media brands, including the Luna HILIC (hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography) columns with unique cross-linked diol chemistry for analysis of polar metabolites; Synergi Polar-RP (ether-linked phenyl phase) for polar and aromatic analysis; and the new Lux chiral phases.
