Abstract
The disclosure relates to a recycling chromatography method that includes injecting a sample into a mobile phase flow stream of a chromatography system to create a combined flow stream. The sample includes an API and at least one impurity. The chromatography system includes a first column and a column in series, a first valve in fluid communication with the first and second chromatographic columns, a heater in communication with the first and second chromatographic columns, a fraction collector in fluid communication with the first and second chromatographic columns, and a second valve positioned before the fraction collector. The combined flow stream is recycled from the first chromatographic column to the second chromatographic column and vice versa by switching the first valve until a baseline resolution is achieved to separate the at least one impurity from the API. The at least one impurity is collected in the fraction collector.
