Custom Application Development

Selerity SFC Custom Applications

Selerity SFC Custom Applications offer distinct advantages over gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (HPLC) when:

  • Compounds are not volatile enough for GC without derivatization.
  • Compounds do not have chromophores suitable for UV detection under HPLC conditions.
  • Compounds are unstable at typical GC temperatures.
  • Universal detectors such as the flame ionization detector (FID) are desired that are not available for HPLC.
Selerity Series 4000

How can you apply Supercritical fluid chromatography in your laboratory?

SFC finds applications essentially wherever chromatographic techniques are used. You can now complete your laboratory with the Selerity Series 4000. Just a few of the applications possible with SFC include:

  • Compounds are not volatile enough for GC without derivatization.
  • Compounds do not have chromophores suitable for UV detection under HPLC conditions.
  • Compounds are unstable at typical GC temperatures.
  • Universal detectors such as the flame ionization detector (FID) are desired that are not available for HPLC.

Petroleum

  • ASTM D5186 Testing Method (aromatics and polyaromatics in diesel and jet fuels)
  • ASTM D6550 Testing Method (olefins in gasoline)
  • Total Aromatics and Naphthalenes in Aviation Turbine Fuels
