Harnessing the Power of Collaboration: Shimadzu’s SFC Journey

Join us as we discuss the collaborative process that led from the introduction of Shimadzu’s Nexera UC analytical SFC systems to the Pharma-focused creation and launch of the Nexera UC Prep semi-preparative SFC systems.

We will explore the uses of SFC and see how the Shimadzu lineup has been shaped to meet the needs of Pharma SFC users through their direct input into instrument and software design and development.

We will host a Q&A session after the presentation to address any questions or comments.
