New Torus Columns Meet the Requirements for Analytical to
Preparative-Scale Achiral SFC Separations
MILFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 19, 2016--
Waters Corporation (NYSE:WAT) expanded its Torus™
SFC column line with the addition of four new preparative
supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) columns. The new achiral SFC
columns are designed for purification laboratories scaling up their
separations of investigatory drug compounds, natural products, or
synthetic chemicals.

Neuroscience LLC, a San Diego-based specialty pharmaceutical and
research firm recently evaluated the Torus columns for the purification
of small molecule drug compounds. “The newly-introduced Torus 2-PIC
stationary phase eliminates retention loss and provides excellent
selectivity and peak shape for basic, neutral and acidic drug-like
molecules under conditions with methanol and 0.2% ammonium hydroxide,”
said Gerard Rosse, Associate Director, Structure Guided Chemistry, Dart
Neuroscience. “The 2-PIC column is a promising candidate in the search
for a universal stationary phase for SFC.”
“Building upon our success with Torus SFC analytical columns introduced
a little over two years ago, we’ve evolved the Torus SFC Column family
to bring customers additional separations and isolation capability,”
said Jeff Mazzeo, Vice President, Consumables Group for Waters
Corporation. “Laboratories that have standardized on our Torus
1.7-micron analytical columns can now directly and easily scale their
separations and begin purifying material on a much larger scale. It also
gives anyone doing normal phase liquid chromatography a compelling
reason to explore the many benefits of SFC including ruggedness and
column longevity and greater separation speed while cutting solvent
disposal costs and operating a greener laboratory.”
Torus Columns for Analytical to Preparative-Scale Achiral Separations
Torus Columns for preparative SFC give scientists the resolving power
they need to speed method development and scale up their separations
from analytical to preparative-scale achiral separations. Based on a new
and proprietary bonding chemistry, the columns come in four different
phases to cover a range of selectivity while being stable and
reproducible ensuring day-to-day and batch-to-batch consistency. Torus
1.7 and 5 micron columns are available in four chemistries:
2-picolylamine (PIC), diethylamine (DEA), high density diol (DIOL) and
1-aminoanthracene (1-AA) and in a variety of internal dimensions and
lengths, and are sold with the Waters SFC 100 System and other
commercial preparative SFC instruments.
