PreparativE HPLC
Preparative HPLC for liquid chromatography
If you attempt to purify different samples by means of efficient isolation and small-scale production of substances up to the high gram range, then one of the modular preparative HPLC systems might be of interest to you.
Preparative isolation of substances is performed by upscaling of previously optimized semi-preparative separations. Here, the eluent flow, the sample volume and the volumes of the fraction vessels are adapted to the size of the preparative column by the upscaling factor.
Preparative HPLC is mainly used to obtain substance quantities on a gram scale. For this purpose, column sizes are used that are determined by the so-called upscale factor. Column sizes from 50 mm ID to 100 mm ID are standard here.
The upscale factor results from the ratio of the squares of the radii of preparative to semi-preparative column. Example: Upscaling from column ID 20 mm to 100 mm results in a factor of 25.
