Common screening approaches for efficient analytical method development in LC and SFC on columns packed with immobilized polysaccharide-derived chiral stationary phases.

Owing to their remarkable enantioselectivity, versatility, and stability, immobilized polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs) have been successfully integrated into the tool box of many research and industry groups for the separation of enantiomers or stereoisomers by liquid and supercritical fluid chromatography. Due to the structurally diverse range of compounds available, efficient method development for chiral separations utilizing such CSPs is a challenging subject. In this chapter, we will discuss simplified screening protocols and straightforward approaches to achieve chiral separations in HPLC and SFC using the column series CHIRALPAK™ IA, IB, IC, and ID in reasonable time frame and with limited experimental work and a high success rate.
