The development of chiral liquid chromatography, facilitating the straightforward separation of enantiomers, was a significant advance in chromatography, leading to widespread application in analytical chemistry. Application in preparative chromatography has been less rapid, but with the development of single enantiomer pharmaceuticals its use is increasingly common in chemical synthesis at laboratory, pilot plant and even full production scale.




Brings non-experts up to speed quickly and comprehensively, facilitating the rapid development of effective separations of enantiomeric mixtures on a range of process scales
