About Chiral-Separations.com
Enantioselective GC columns for chiral chromatography
Chiral-separations.com originates from the research group of one of the main inventors of enantioselective GC using modified cyclodextrins, Prof. Wilfried A. König, University of Hamburg.
Application in essential oils, pharmaceuticals and biosynthesis
Cyclodextrins are extraordinary stationary phases, featuring not only outstanding selectivity towards enantiomers but also excellent separation capabilities for difficult resolutions of non-chiral compounds like closely related isomers and diastereomers.
Enantioselective GC is a valuable and established tool in essential oil analysis. Important areas of application are:
- proof of authenticity
- detection of adulterations
- determination of provenance
- quality control and pharmacopoeia requirements
Further highly important and established areas of application of enantioselective gas chromatography are:
- pharmaceuticals (proof of enantiomeric purity or determination of enantiomeric excess)
- enantioselective synthesis and catalysis
- biosynthetic studies
