Enantioseparations
22 January, 2004 | Phenomenex Australia
Chirex brand chiral HPLC columns from Phenomenex are suitable for the enantiomeric resolution of a wide variety of chiral pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. A diverse selection of chiral selectors is covalently bound to high efficiency 5 µm silica to produce some of the most versatile and enantioselective chiral columns available. The rugged columns provide superior analytical separations with respect to capacity, speed and resolution. Scale-up to semiprep and preparative specifications is straightforward. Chirex phases are highly load-tolerant and can be used with volatile organic solvents to facilitate isolation of the purified antipodes in bulk. Opposite chiral selector phases are available to put trace components first. Hundreds of chiral applications are listed in this free 18 page applications guide on chiral chromatography.
