Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC)

Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) is a technique used to separate and analyze substances. It employs supercritical fluids, which are materials (like carbon dioxide) that are in a state beyond liquid and gas, allowing them to flow like a gas while dissolving substances like a liquid. This unique property makes SFC efficient and environmentally friendly, often replacing traditional solvents. SFC is particularly useful in pharmaceuticals, food, and chemical industries for purifying and analyzing complex mixtures, offering speed and precision in the separation process.
