Rewriting the book on supercritical fluid chromatography
28 Aug 2024Fluids become supercritical when they are highly compressed and take on the properties of both a liquid and a gas. Supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) can be used as the mobile phase in supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). New developments in the field have demonstrated that SFC can be a highly cost-effective, accurate and sensitive solution capable of outperforming high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC). Discover how Shimadzu is reshaping the field of chromatography with SFC.

Supercritical Fluid ChromatographySupercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) is used for the rapid separation and analysis of complex mixtures. SFC systems require injectors, pumps, columns, ovens and detectors. The SFC retention method uses a supercritical fluid, usually CO2. There are a number of different SFC detector types including UV / VIs, ECD, mass spectrometry and fluorescence.
