Book Description
The use of supercritical fluids in analytical chemistry is still grow ing. More and more analysts are discovering the favorable advan tages for a number of applications. Especially supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) has attracted a lot of interest in recent years due to its simplicity. Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) has become better established and the development of this technique has been accelerated by the many applications with capillary col umns which have been published in the literature. At first SFC equipment was based on instruments commonly used for liquid chromatography, and the first commercial in struments were derived from this technology. However, capillary columns can be much more easily interfaced to gas chromatogra phy equipment especially to the detectors commonly used for Oc. Many stationary phases both for packed micro columns and capillary columns have been designed for SFC purposes extending this technology to LC and OC. The most common fluid applied in SFC and SFE is carbon dioxide. The advantages of supercritical CO , such as having dif 2 fusivity like a gas and solvating power depending on temperature and pressure, are also valid for other fluids and modified fluids. Both properties are valuable for sample extraction and extraction selectivity.

Book Description
by Professor D. E. Games, Mass Spectrometry Research Unit, University College of Swansea Sample preparation can be viewed as occupying a Cinderella role in analytical science. However, the quality of sample preparation plays a key role in high In the past decade, there has been quality analysis and deserves higher stature. considerable interest in the use of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) as an alternative to conventional procedures for the preparation of samples for ana lysis. The driving force for this development is the need for automated, sim pler, faster, non-destructive and selective methods for extraction, preferably using non-toxic extraction media which are easily disposed of. Utilization of supercritical fluids for extraction fulfils these requirements because of their unique physical chemical properties and usually low toxicity. Selectivity can be achieved by suitable selection of pressure (density), temperature and modi fier conditions which enable solvating power to be varied. The high diffusivity of supercritical fluids provides rapid sample penetration and extraction. Use of fluids with low critical temperatures enables extraction to be conducted under mild thermal conditions ensuring that thermally labile compounds do not decompose. The technique can be used off-line, and the extracts analysed by appropriate techniques, or it can be used on-line, by coupling with a variety of chromatographic techniques. These can then, if necessary, be coupled fur ther with spectroscopic techniques, such as Fourier transform infrared, ultra violet or mass spectrometry, to provide specific identification or structural information.

Book Description
The continued search for rapid, efficient and cost-effective means of analytical measurement has introduced supercritical fluids into the field of analytical chemistry. Two areas are common: supercritical fluid chroma tography and supercritical fluid extraction. Both seek to exploit the unique properties of a gas at temperatures and pressures above the critical point. The most common supercritical fluid is carbon dioxide, employed because of its low critical temperature (31 °C), inertness, purity, non-toxicity and cheapness. Alternative supercritical fluids are also used and often in conjunction with modifiers. The combined gas-like mass transfer and liquid-like solvating characteristics have been used for improved chroma tographic separation and faster sample preparation. Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) is complementary to gas chro matography ( GC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), providing higher efficiency than HPLC, together with the ability to analyse thermally labile and high molecular weight analytes. Both packed and open tubular columns can be employed, providing the capability to analyse a wide range of sample types. In addition, flame ionization detection can be used, thus providing 'universal' detection.

Book Description
Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) is a rapidly developing laboratory technique for the separation and identification of compounds in mixtures. Significant improvements in instrumentation have rekindled interest in SFC in recent years and enhanced its standing in the scientific community. Many scientists are familiar with column liquid chromatography and its strengths and weaknesses, but the possibilities brought to the table by SFC are less well-known and are underappreciated. Supercritical Fluid Chromatography is a thorough and encompassing reference that defines the concept of contemporary practice in SFC and how it should be implemented in laboratory science. Given the changes that have taken place in SFC, this book presents contemporary aspects and applications of the technique and introduces SFC as a natural solution in the larger field of separation science. The focus on state-of-the-art instrumental SFC distinguishes this work as the go-to reference work for those interested in implementing the technique at an advanced level. Edited and authored by world-leading chromatography experts Provides comprehensive coverage of SFC in a single source Extensive referencing facilitates identification of key research developments More than 200 figures and tables aid in the retention of key concepts

Book Description
In the mid 1980s supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) arose with considerable fanfare as the new technique which would shortly "displace HPLC" and become the "universal separation method". After the initial hype had passed, there has still remained a significant group of applications in both chromatography and extraction for which supercritical fluids are the most suitable solvents. These form the basis of this volume, which illustrates the present state of analytical supercritical technology by a collection of review and research papers. Many publications in this field have blurred the boundaries of supercritical fluids, claiming that they filled a gap between gases and liquids and "had the properties of both". This was never true and this book seeks a more rational view of the state of application of supercritical fluids as their position in the analytical laboratory becomes clearer. These papers emphasise that future chromatographers should not be compartmentalised into "gas chromatographers" or "liquid chromatographers" but should view the field as a series of merging separation techniques. The overall emphasis is on extraction methods, usually as a sample preparation method prior to HPLC or GC analysis, but in some cases the extract is examined directly as the analytical step. This bias on extraction methods reflects the impact of supercritical fluids in the working laboratory. It is therefore an area where advances can have the maximum benefit for the user. The papers on chromatography are diverse and adventurous, covering particularly chiral chromatography and metal complex analysis, where SFC offers particular advantages over existing methods. Rather than be a separate branch of chromatography or extractions it is clear that the use of solvents above their normal conditions of temperature and pressure, up to and including the supercritical state, will continue to expand the range of analytical methods as part of an overall spectrum of solubility, polarity and volatility properties of solvents and mobile phases. This volume is an important addition to this movement and will help to redress the lack of education in the theory and practice of sample preparation which has been a great limiting factor for SFC and SFE.
