Prep SFC M5
Versatile SFC system for chiral and achiral
separations
Sepiatec’s Prep SFC M5 system is a preparative system for separating chiral and achiral samples using supercritical fluid chromatography.
The system is available in the product variants M5-50 and M5-250.
The Prep SFC M5 system consists of the main module and the collector module. Both modules form a functional unit that can be configured in a variety of ways with different equipment.
The main module can be equipped with up to three high pressure pumps, a CO2 pump and a modifier pump.
The integrated auto sampler can accommodate two standard or two deep well microtiter plates with 24 wells and a volume of 10 ml each or racks with up to 60 sample vials with a volume of 1.5 ml each.
The heatable column oven is suitable for up to 10 separation columns with internal diameter of 4 to 16 mm and a length of 250 mm (Prep SFC M5-50) or of 15 to 30 mm and a length of 250 mm (Prep SFC M5-250).
Standard equipment in the main module is a UV detector for measuring in the range of 190 – 500 nm. Other detectors, such as a DAD or an ELSD, can also be connected.
An integrated system controller and a 15.6” TFT touch screen are used to input all data for sample separations. No additional computer is needed, reducing the space required for the Prep SFC M5 system to a width of just 92 cm.
The post heater and the back pressure regulator are integrated within the collector module. The continuously operating gas-liquid separator is located at the front of the collector module; it removes residual CO2 from the isolated compounds.
The Prep SFC M5 system can be fitted with a carousel fraction collector which can accommodate collection vessels with volumes ranging from 10 to 500 ml.
Alternatively, an XY-fraction collector for vials with volumes of 10 or 60 ml is available. A total of up to 195 fractions can be collected.
