Waters' suite of bulk-scale SFC purification systems offer the optimal system for the amount of sample you need to purify. These systems easily allow you to purify a large amount of one sample.
Preparative Supercritical Fluid Chromatography 80q, 200q, and 350 are automated systems that feature co-solvent gradient, high-pressure separators for quantitative recovery of purified products, such as enantiomers, complex synthetic chemicals, and natural products. They are designed for chiral and achiral separations.
SFC 80q | SFC 200q | SFC 350 | |
Optimal column I.D. | 19 mm | 30 mm | 50 mm |
Recommended total flow rate* | 80 g/min | 150 g/min | 300 g/min |
Typical throughput** | Up to 15 g/day | Up to 40 g/day | Up to 100 g/day |
Fractions | 6 + 1 waste | 5 + 1 waste | 5 + 1 waste |
*Under general operating conditions 1 g/min of CO2 is approximately equivalent to 1 mL/min
**Based on an 8 hour day
