Prep SFC 50
Prep SFC 50
Compact Semi-Preparative SFC System
The Prep SFC 50 from Sepiatec is a compact and easy-to-use chromatography system for preparative separations on analytical and semi-preparative columns by means of supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC).
The system offers the comprehensive benefits of SFC technology, such as faster separations, lower costs due to reduced consumption of organic solvents, as well as being more environmentally friendly at increased safety.
The Prep SFC 50 system is equipped with two 400 bar high-pressure pumps with 30 ml pump heads. The total flow – at a modifier portion of 40 % – is up to 50 ml/min. Chromatography columns with inner diameters ranging from 4 to 16 mm, and a length of up to 250 mm may be used.
The column oven for up to 6 columns, containing the chromatography columns together with the injection valve and the UV flow cell, is heatable up to 70 °C so that a uniform temperature is ensured. The Prep SFC 30 system is available with 9 gas-liquid-separators allowing a total of up to 8 fractio0ns + waste.
As fractions are collected in unpressurized state, not only is safety increased, but also handling is simplified, and limitations with respect to the size of fraction volumes do not exist. This option proves to be extremely convenient when working with stack injections.
As the dimensions of the Prep SFC 50 together with the integrated computer and 10” touch-screen amount to only 56 x 60 x 88 cm (W x D x H), this system requires a minimum of space in the laboratory. A separate computer or monitor is not necessary.
