Analysis of Herbal Medicine by Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (CAT#: STEM-CT-0015-LJX)

Introduction

The greatest challenge in the analysis of herbal components lies in their variety and complexity. Therefore, efficient analytical tools for the separation and qualitative and quantitative analysis of multi-components are essential. In recent years, various emerging analytical techniques have offered significant support for complicated component analysis, with breakthroughs in selectivity, sensitivity, and rapid analysis. Among these techniques, supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) has attracted much attention because of its high column efficiency and environmental protection. SFC can be used to analyze a wide range of compounds, including non-polar and polar compounds, making it a prominent analytical platform.




Principle

Supercritical fluid is a substance that has both gaseous and liquid properties above the critical point. Supercritical fluids have the advantages of high diffusion coefficient, low viscosity, adjustable solubility and high vapor phase density, so they can provide efficient mass spectrometry ionization and separation results.
Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) is an efficient separation technique that uses supercritical fluid as a mobile phase. The samples are packed into short tubes or SPE columns, and the samples are compressed and regulated by supercritical fluid to obtain good solubility. The sample components are then separated by column interaction, thus achieving the separation of different compounds.

Applications

For efficient separation of substances
Widely used in biology, chemistry, environmental protection and other fields

Procedure

1. Sample injection
2. The high pressure pump increases the pressure of the sample and mobile phase
3. The sample and mobile phase enter the chromatographic column
4. Flow limiter assists sample separation

Materials

• Sample Type:
Herbal medicine

Notes

1. In the process of separation, the control of pressure and temperature of supercritical fluid is very important, which affects the properties and separation efficiency of supercritical fluid.
2. In addition, the selection of the appropriate column, packing and moving equivalent factors will also affect the separation effect.
