Basics of Supercritical Fluid Chromatography Purification

Purification is critical to many scientific workflows. Compounds of interest are rarely found to be the right purity in their native state. Join Waters and Virscidian for this 6-part webinar series to learn the basics of purification and application of purification principles for more advanced workflows.

PART 2 | Basics of Supercritical Fluid Chromatography Purification

Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) is an effective and green technique to isolate a compound(s) of interest from a mixture. SFC utilizes liquid CO2 to quickly isolate compounds while minimizing the efforts required to dry the collected fraction. In this module, we will discuss factors involved in SFC purification.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand how to use SFC purification
• Make informed decisions on method optimization
• Understand impact of decisions made during purification on larger workflow
