Reviewed by Yolanda Smith, B.Pharm. Although supercritical fluids were used as eluents for chromatographic separations in 1962, the term supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) was first used only ...

Using emulsion templating, a versatile method for producing porous materials, Cameron and colleagues at the University of Durham, UK, have developed improved techniques for producing cross-linked ...

A research team lays down the foundation for the expansion of supercritical fluid applications research. A long-lasting non-equilibrium phase coexistence in supercritical fluids has been observed by a ...

Diffusion in supercritical fluids characterises the rate at which molecules migrate under concentration gradients in a medium above its critical temperature and pressure. In this regime, fluid density ...

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for enantiomeric separation of chiral active pharmaceutical ingredients took the drug industry by storm in the late 1990s. Drug companies needed a ...

A study now published in Nature Communications brings remarkable insights into the enigmatic behavior of supercritical fluids, a hybrid state of matter occupying a unique space between liquids and ...

Supercritical fluids show certain properties that are used to advantage in chromatographic separations: No liquid/gas phase boundary and therefore no surface tension Solute solubility increases with ...

A supercritical fluid refers to a state in which the temperature and pressure of a substance exceed its critical point, where no distinction exists between liquid and gas phases. Traditionally, it has ...

Supercritical fluid chromatography, or SFC, has been around for decades. During that time, the separation technique has fallen in and out of and back in favor. But it has consistently been relegated ...

A long-lasting non-equilibrium phase coexistence in supercritical fluids has been observed by a Korean research team. A team of researchers led by Professor Gunsu S. Yun from POSTECH’s Department of ...
