SFC (Supercritical Fluid Chromatography)

Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) is an advanced separation technique that uses a supercritical fluid—like carbon dioxide at high pressure and temperature—as the mobile phase to analyze complex mixtures. In this state, the fluid has properties between a gas and a liquid, allowing for efficient, rapid, and environmentally friendly separation of compounds. SFC offers high resolution, lower solvent use, and faster analysis times compared to traditional methods, making it popular in pharmaceuticals, natural products, and material sciences for testing and quality control.
