The group has teamed up with the Chinese Academy of Sciences to enable fast, high quality screening.
Phenomenex has announced the extension of its Chiral Screening Service to pharmaceutical and natural products customers in China.
The service is offered in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), a leading academic and R&D center under which the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC) has developed a strong chiral team that works closely with Phenomenex.
The free Chiral Screening Service provides target screening using a library of HPLC columns including the Phenomenex Lux polysaccharide-based offerings, which demonstrate a success rate approaching 90 percent.
After resolving the chiral compound, Phenomenex delivers a method development and optimisation plan to the customer within 10 business days - the same rapid turnaround the service promises in the U.S. and Europe.
Enantiomers of chiral compounds may have different pharmacological effects in biological systems and they must be identified and evaluated separately.
The Phenomenex team of chiral experts will customise a plan for each screening project, taking into account specific requirements and overall separation goals.
Once a project is completed, the customer will receive a report that details the optimal method including information on the chiral stationary phase (CSP) selected for the separation, running conditions and associated chromatograms.
