Abstract
A methodology scales supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and/or carbon dioxide based chromatography methods between different system and/or column configurations. The methodology includes measuring an average mobile phase density during a first separation utilizing C02 as a mobile phase component and substantially duplicating the average density profile for a second separation. Substantial duplication of the average mobile phase density (e.g., within about 10%, 5%, 2.5%, 1%, 0.5%, 0.1 %, 0.05%) results in chromatography for both system and/or column configurations having similar selectivity and retention factors. Average mobile phase density may be, either measured directly, calculated, or approximated using average pressure or density measurements. The average pressure profile may be used as a close approximation to duplicate average density profiles between separations.
