Share via Share via Share via Share via

Centrifugal Partition Chromatography (CPC) has emerged as a versatile and effective technique for addressing a wide range of chromatographic challenges. Its unique approach of using liquid-liquid partitioning enables its application in both analytical and preparative scales, each with distinct objectives and benefits. This adaptability highlights CPC’s potential in overcoming challenges associated with large-scale purifications.

Analytical Scale Separations

To understand the differences between analytical-scale and preparative-scale separations, let’s see what are the objectives and expected insights in analytical-scale first.

  • Understanding the Sample: The primary goal is to gain a detailed understanding of the sample’s composition and characteristics.
  • High Resolution and Peak Capacity: Analytical separations require high resolution and peak capacity to ensure clear separation and identification of each component.
  • Detailed Knowledge: Researchers acquire comprehensive insights into the components of the sample, enabling accurate characterization and analysis.

Preparative Scale Separations

Let’s see what are the objectives and expected results in a preparative-scale separation.

  • Large-Scale Purification: The goal is to produce significant quantities of purified materials.
  • Maximize Yield and Productivity: Ensuring high yield and productivity to meet industrial demands.
  • Scalability: Ability to scale up the process to handle larger sample volumes.
  • Yield and Throughput: Maximizing yield and throughput to meet production needs efficiently.
  • Productivity: Ensuring high productivity to support commercial applications.

CPC Advantages for Preparative Scale Purification

One of CPC’s main features is its capability to achieve excellent results in both analytical-scale and preparative-scale purifications. Its unique cell design offers linear scalability, and its versatile solvent capabilities allow the purification of a wide-range of components. CPC can be used in a variety of fields, including pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and botanical.

RotaChrom’s CPC Technology

RotaChrom CPC platforms offer all the benefits of centrifugal partition chromatography:

  • High Output Capacity: RotaChrom’s industrial-scale CPC technology boasts an output capacity of up to 20 kg/day, ensuring high productivity for large-scale purification needs.
  • Elimination of Silica: CPC’s liquid-liquid chromatography approach eliminates the need for silica, avoiding the associated costs and complications.
  • No Sample Loss: The absence of irreversible absorption ensures complete sample recovery.
  • Unique Cell Design: RotaChrom’s cell design offers liner scalability, meaning our devices can be scaled from lab-scale to continuous, industrial-scale purification without the need for significant method development.
  • Low Maintenance: CPC systems require minimal maintenance compared to traditional methods.
  • Reusable Solvent Systems: The ability to use and reuse solvents like water contributes to sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
  • Precision Molecular Separation: CPC offers precise molecular separation without the issues of irreversible adsorption and sample loss.

Conclusion

Centrifugal Partition Chromatography (CPC), particularly through RotaChrom’s innovative technology, offers a promising alternative for both analytical and preparative purification needs. Its scalability, high yield, and cost-effectiveness make it an attractive choice for various industries. CPC’s ability to handle large sample volumes and produce high-purity compounds efficiently positions it as a powerful solution for large-scale purification requirements, addressing both current and future needs in the pharmaceutical and related sectors.
