Enantioseparations
22 January, 2004 | Phenomenex Australia
Chirex brand chiral HPLC columns from Phenomenex are suitable for the enantiomeric resolution of a wide variety of chiral pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. A diverse selection of chiral selectors is covalently bound to high efficiency 5 µm silica to produce some of the most versatile and enantioselective chiral columns available. The rugged columns provide superior analytical separations with respect to capacity, speed and resolution. Scale-up to semiprep and preparative specifications is straightforward. Chirex phases are highly load-tolerant and can be used with volatile organic solvents to facilitate isolation of the purified antipodes in bulk. Opposite chiral selector phases are available to put trace components first. Hundreds of chiral applications are listed in this free 18 page applications guide on chiral chromatography.

Online degassing
22 January, 2004 | Grace Discovery Sciences
Alltech offers two families of degassers to eliminate the problems of unwanted air - the advanced featured Elite On-Line Degassing Family and the economical Select On-Line Degassing Family. The efficient teflon AF membrane, the continuous-run vacuum pump, and NO-OX tubing work together to consistently and rapidly remove gas from mobile phase and keep it that way as it travels to the pump inlet. Reproducible pump flow rates and stable baselines are achieved by using the degasser.
