23. 23 Practical Advantages of SFC SFC is Normal Phase
complimentary to reversed phase HPLC
Diffusion is much Faster
higher speed/throughput-more samples/day
more rapid re-equilibration-shorter cycle time
Non-Linear Solvent Strength-first small addition of polar additives dramatically increases solvent strength
Viscosity is Much Lower
lower pressure drop, higher flows, or longer columns possible
24. 24 What Compounds Can SFC Separate? Any solute soluble in methanol or a less polar organic solvent will elute in SFC.
Strong organic acids and bases require a modifier and an additive in the mobile phase.
Most salts of organic acids and bases elute.
Small lipophylic peptides elute
With carbon dioxide based fluids, molecular weights up to 15,000

27. 27 What Compounds Will NOT Elute in SFC? Any solutes requiring an aqueous environment
any solutes requiring a buffered or ionic aqueous environment
I.E., Biomolecules such as Proteins
will NOT elute
inorganic salts will not elute
With carbon dioxide, few solutes over 15,000 MW elute
28. 28 Sample Matrix? Usually solution in organic solvent
methanol or less polar allows larger injections
can use DMSO
small (i.e., 0.5-1 µL) aqueous samples direct
often reduced sample prep because SFC is compatible with both lipids and polar molecules
pills dissolved with excipients, etc. present
extracts from natural products
extracts from fermentation
29. 29 Why Carbon Dioxide? Miscible with much more polar solvents-wide range of solvent strength available.
program composition from 0 to 100% organic modifier
Low operating temperatures (i.e., 30-50°C) Compatible with most HPLC and GC Detectors
Relatively safe
product of human respiration
can use with the FID
easy disposal
low purchase price
Lack of a superior alternative
