Preparative SFE/SFC System by JASCO (USA)

SUPERCRITICAL FLUID CHROMATOGRAPHY/EXTRACTION

Low-Cost, Fast, Green Technology

Over the years, JASCO has responded to the growing emphasis on reducing chemical waste by offering an alternative to traditional HPLC with a full line of “green” SFC/SFE products. The reduction in the use of organic solvents has cost, health, and safety benefits as well as faster, cleaner sample recovery during experimental procedures. These advantages are a result of supercritical fluids liquid-like densities offering higher solubility and increased column loading. The low viscosity and high diffusion of supercritical fluids enable faster separations and extractions.

The JASCO advantage

JASCO’s modular SFC/SFE platforms have been optimized and refined over the last 20 years to provide reliable, worry-free performance for a wide variety of applications.

• The patented JASCO back-pressure regulator employs a high-speed switching valve to ensure that a constant back pressure is maintained at all times, regardless of the flow rate. Most other systems use a restriction device which is flow dependent and hence is unable to provide the essential constant pressure conditions. The JASCO design has the additional benefit of very low dead volume (below 10 μL) which prevents fractions from remixing. It also presents a significant reduction in any precipitation buildup in the flow line.

• JASCO offers a wide range of detectors with high pressure cells – UV, Diode Array (real-time collection of 3-D spectra and chromatograms), and the only CD detector available for SFC.

• Our analytical SFC/SFE systems can be converted easily to HPLC.

• JASCO’s modifier delivery pumps guarantee stable delivery performance even at high flow rates.

• JASCO offers a truly modular system – from a simple extractor to a complex multi-instrument system that shares the same basic components.

• JASCO SFC systems are compatible with most Mass Spectrometers and offer direct control in both Excalibur and Analyst software.

• JASCO provides professional, fast and courteous support on all of our products. We have 33 different service centers in the U.S. to ensure the highest level of customer satisfaction. Our scheduled and on-site training classes are available for advanced application training.

• JASCO offers multiple configurations, please ask your local sales rep.
