Note: The SFC 80q, 200q, and 200 BTq Systems have been replaced with the SFC 150 Mgm System. The 350 Preparative System remains available for sale.
Waters' suite of bulk-scale supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) purification systems offers the optimal system for the amount of sample you need to purify. These systems easily allow you to purify a large amount of one sample. When faster and more cost-effective means sustainable business operations, SFC is the purification technique that makes the difference.
Preparative-scale SFC 80q, 200q, and 350 systems are automated systems that features co-solvent gradient, high pressure separators for quantitative recovery of purified products, such as enantiomers, complex synthetic chemicals and natural products. They are designed for chiral and achiral separations.
