Presents the current state of supercritical fluid technology and provides a link between researchers studying fundamental aspects of the science and those involved in the application of supercritical fluid technology to difficult chemical problems. Includes discussions of the fundamental aspects of solvation in supercritical fluid media and presents applications in spectroscopy, chromatography, extraction, and computer modelling. Also offers a discussion on
regulatory agencies' roles in the implementation of supercritical fluid technology.
