Technology to direct automatic analysis of target compounds in a complex sample
The Nexera™ UC On-Line SFE-SFC system integrates technology for combining supercritical fluid extraction (SFE*) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC*) in one online system, so that the entire process from extraction of target compounds to acquisition of data can be performed completely automatically.
By using the On-Line SFE-SFC, pretreatment to analysis can be automated, creating advantages such as shorten the pretreatment time, and getting the highly accurate analyzing data.
*Supercritical Fluid have characteristics of both the gas and liquid.
Supercritical Fluid Extraction is a extraction method using supercritical fluid as solvent.
Supercritical Fluid Chromatography is chromatography using a mobile phase including a supercritical fluid.
