Chiral-Pak

Chiral-Pak is a type of chromatography column used to separate molecules based on their "handedness," or chirality. Many molecules have mirror-image forms called enantiomers, which can behave differently in biological systems. Chiral-Pak contains a special stationary phase with chiral selectors that interact differently with each enantiomer, allowing scientists to distinguish and quantify them accurately. This makes it valuable in pharmaceuticals and chemical industries, where identifying and separating enantiomers is crucial for drug safety and effectiveness.
