Dorton Analytical has been appointed the UK agency rights to support and supply the Dynamic Extraction range of high performance countercurrent chromatography (HPCCC) instrumentation.

According to the company, today's business environment demands that all scientists involved in the development process use their time more effectively and HPCCC instruments offer an alternative in the purification of synthetic molecules (small and large), peptides, natural product and petrochemical applications.

Scale-up on these instruments is reported to be simple, reliable and robust, compared with HPLC; where the company claims scale up can sometimes require complicated processes involving redevelopment of chromatography methods.

Due to the benefit of easy scale-up, the company reports HPCCC instruments are becoming a popular choice for liquid chromatography applications in pharmaceutical discovery and development, natural products and petrochemicals.
