In recent years, because of its advantages of high efficiency and easy operation, supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) continues to develop. SFC uses supercritical fluid as the main mobile phase.
The advantages of using carbon dioxide as a carrier are huge, reducing the use of expensive and harmful organic solvents. With SFC, solute diffusion is faster than with traditional HPLC techniques.
ASATM's patented axial SFC column hardware system is based on the concept of axial compression loading, but is designed to withstand high pressures.
