Process intensification with the Pure Essential Flash Chromatography System

Chromatography is a fundamental technique in chemical laboratories for separating and purifying compounds from complex mixtures. Among the most commonly used preparative techniques are open column chromatography and flash chromatography. While both rely on similar principles of differential adsorption onto a stationary phase, their performance, efficiency, and cost vary significantly.

Explore this study carried out by Büchi that aims to systematically compare traditional gravity-driven open column chromatography with modern flash chromatography systems, focusing on separation efficiency, processing time, solvent consumption, and cost-effectiveness.
