Recent developments in fast chromatographic enantioseparations now make high throughput analysis of enantiopurity on the order a few seconds achievable. Nevertheless, routine determinations to support stereochemical investigations pharmaceutical research and development, synthetic chemistry bioanalysis are still typically performed 5-20 min timescale, with many practitioners believing that sub-minute not representative molecules encountered day research. In this study we develop ultrafast...

Chromatographic separation and analysis of complex mixtures closely related species is one the most challenging tasks in modern pharmaceutical analysis. In recent years, two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) has become a valuable tool for improving peak capacity selectivity. However, relatively slow speed chiral separations limited use stationary phases (CSPs) as second dimension 2D-LC, especially comprehensive mode. Realizing that revolution field ultrafast enantioselective could...

Chromatographic separation, analysis and characterization of complex highly polar analyte mixtures can often be very challenging using conventional separation approaches. Analysis purification hydrophilic compounds have been dominated by liquid chromatography (LC) ion-exchange (IC), with sub/supercritical fluid (SFC) moving toward these new applications beyond traditional chiral separations. However, the low polarity supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) has limited use SFC for in bioanalytical...

Enantioselective chromatography has been the preferred technique for determination of enantiomeric excess across academia and industry. Although sequential multicolumn enantioselective supercritical fluid screenings are widespread, access to automated ultra-high-performance liquid (UHPLC) platforms using state-of-the-art small particle size chiral stationary phases (CSPs) is an underdeveloped area. Herein, we introduce a UHPLC screening workflow capable combining 14 columns (packed with...
