With the aim of exploring the potential of ultra-fast chiral chromatography for high-throughput analysis, the new sub-2 micron Whelk-O 1 chiral stationary phase (CSP) has been employed in supercritical fluid conditions to screen 129 racemates, mainly of pharmaceutical interest. By using a 5-cm long column (0.46cm internal diameter), a single co-solvent (MeOH) and a 7-min gradient elution, 85% of acidic and neutral analytes considered in this work have been successfully resolved, with resolution (Rs) larger than 2 in more than 65% of cases.

The majority of enantiomeric separations for purity analysis and quality control continue to be performed by normal-phase liquid chromatography and supercritical fluid chromatography. In this chapter, representative chromatographic screening procedures for the enantioseparations using Pirkle-type stationary phases are presented. As Pirkle-type phases are commonly applied to the preparative chromatographic isolation of enantiomers, volatile modifiers are used in this screen in order to be subsequently compatible with the techniques used to recover analytes from preparative scale isolations.

The well-known Whelk-O1 selector was covalently immobilized onto 1.7-μm high-surface-area, porous spherical silica particles to produce a totally synthetic, covalently bonded CSP that was packed into 150 mm, 100mm, 75 mm and 50mm columns, either 4.
