Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC)
Column chromatography using carbon dioxide (CO2) as a mobile phase

Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC)

In SFC the mobile phase consists of carbon dioxide (CO2) above or near its critical state (temperature >31.1 °C and pressure >73.8 bar) in combination with an organic modifier such as methanol. This relatively non-polar mobile phase can be used with stationary phases typically used in normal or reversed phase HPLC, and the low viscosity and high diffusivity of supercritical CO2 relative to the solvents typically used in HPLC translates into much faster separations. Typically SFC can be used in two modes:
