Sepiatec’s new Prep SFC 100 system is a compact benchtop unit designed for preparative separations using supercritical fluid chromatography.

Measuring just 70 x 60 x 88 cm (W x D x H) the system offers all the advantages of SFC technology such as fast separations, reduced consumption of organic solvents, lower costs, improved environmental compatibility and increased safety.

The equipment of the Prep SFC 100 system includes:

• a high pressure pump for CO2,
• a high pressure pump for modifiers,
• a back pressure regulator,
• a syringe pump for sample injection,
• a UV / VIS detector,
• a fractionation module,
• an integrated computer with a 10" touch-screen,
• the Prep SFC 100 control software.

Due to its compact design the footprint of the Prep SFC 100 system is comparatively small and precious laboratory space can be saved. The clear arranged assembly of the Prep SFC system allows easy access to all of its components.

The fractionation module of the Prep SFC 100 system includes a selector valve and a gas / liquid separator. It is designed for 8 sample bottles with a volume of 1 litre each. Due to the flexible outlets even bigger sample containers with volumes up to several litres can be used.

The user-friendly control software can be used via the 10" touch screen, which is placed ergonomically on the upper front of the Prep SFC 100 system. A separate computer and a monitor are unnecessary, additional bench space is not required.

Subject to modifications.
