A supercritical fluid chromatography system comprises a first pump for pumping a first flow stream comprising a compressible fluid and a second pump for pumping a second flow stream comprising a modifier fluid. The second pump is in parallel with the first pump. A column is located in a combined flow stream. The column is located downstream of the first and second pumps. The combined flow stream comprises the first flow stream, the second flow stream, and a sample. A detector is located downstream of the column. A gas-liquid separator is located downstream of the detector. The gas-liquid separator is configured to vent a majority of the compressible fluid while maintaining a majority of the sample, thus preventing aerosolization of the flow stream and minimizing sample loss as well as cross contamination. An open bed collector is located after the gas-liquid separator.
