Agilent Technologies (Santa Clara, California) and Aurora SFC Systems (Sunnyvale, California) announced that Agilent is providing technical support for the development of Aurora?s SFC Fusion A5, a new instrument that converts existing high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems into supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) systems.
Agilent Technologies (Santa Clara, California) and Aurora SFC Systems (Sunnyvale, California) announced that Agilent is providing technical support for the development of Aurora’s SFC Fusion A5, a new instrument that converts existing high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems into supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) systems. The instrument supports Agilent’s model 1100 and 1200 LC systems and the model 1200 RRLC system. According to Agilent senior marketing director Stefan Schuette, the pharmaceutical industry is increasingly interested in SFC as a technical option, and the new instrument enables the LC system to be operated in either SFC or HPLC operating modes.
Reversed-Phases for LC Deliberately Doped with Positive Charge: Tips and Tricks for Effective Use
May 13th 2025In this month's edition of LC Troubleshooting, Dwight Stoll and his fellow researchers discuss both the benefits (improved peak shape/loading) and challenges (excessive interaction) associated with charge-doped reversed-phase (RP) columns for both analytical and preparative separations.
Investigating 3D-Printable Stationary Phases in Liquid Chromatography
May 7th 20253D printing technology has potential in chromatography, but a major challenge is developing materials with both high porosity and robust mechanical properties. Recently, scientists compared the separation performances of eight different 3D printable stationary phases.
