Sustainable and High-Precision Chromatography with Supercritical CO₂
Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) is an eco-friendly and highly efficient purification process that offers a superior alternative to conventional liquid chromatography. By leveraging supercritical CO₂, SFC enables precise separation of high-value compounds while significantly reducing solvent consumption, waste, and energy use.
This scalable technology ensures high-purity results, making it ideal for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and natural product industries. The ability to remove unwanted contaminants, such as pesticides and heavy metals, further enhances its versatility.
Performance & Safety
01
Non-toxic, pure, and stable – CO₂-based purification with no solvent residues
02
Non-flammable – A safer alternative to organic solvents
03
Upcycled and recyclable CO₂ – Reduces environmental impact
04
Energy-efficient process – Lower operating costs compared to traditional methods
At optimal temperature and pressure, CO₂ enters a supercritical phase, acting as an effective solvent with both gas-like diffusion and liquid-like solvation properties. This enables targeted extraction and purification of desired compounds, while efficiently removing impurities such as pesticides and residual solvents.
Unlike conventional liquid chromatography, SFC eliminates the need for toxic organic solvents, ensuring cleaner, purer final products and a significantly reduced ecological footprint.
