Chiral Technologies Announces New i-CHIRAL 6, the Advanced Screening Set

WEST CHESTER, Pa. -— Chiral Technologies has announced the availability of i-CHIRAL 6, a set of six Daicel 3-µm immobilized CSPs packed in columns of 4.6 mm internal diameter and 150 mm long. This combination of columns, which includes CHIRALPAK® IA, IB, IC, ID, IE and IF, raises method development success rates to greater than 93 percent.

“This advanced screening set will further equip pharmaceutical scientists in identifying and developing separation protocols using our state-of-the art immobilized chiral stationary phases,” said Brian Freer, Business Manager for Chiral Technologies Europe. “Similar to i-CHIRAL 4, the tool set is value-priced to meet the most stringent research budgets.”

The i-CHIRAL 6 set, which complements i-CHIRAL 4 set released in late 2013, is designed for high-speed, high-efficiency separations of enantiomers. It is the complementarity nature of the added CHIRALPAK IE and IF that allows scientists to achieve resolution of the most difficult-to-separate target compounds.
