The company's latest SFC/SFE-FT/IR system is said to combine its supercritical fluid chromatography/extraction technology with the recent introduction of its compact, high-performance FT/IR spectrometers to provide researchers with a powerful tool to separate and identify a wide range of compounds. While conducting research on the extraction of metals with supercritical fluid extraction, the scientists discovered that the common supercritical fluid solvent carbon dioxide forms a stable complex with a macro-cyclic organic molecule called p-tertiary-butylcalix[4]arene. 2] is mixed with a small amount of a relatively benign cosolvent (typically 5% or less), which increases the solvent abilities of the supercritical fluid. |
