Beckman Coulter UK introduces an enhanced Chiral Methods Development Kit for CE (capillary electrophoresis) analysis on the company’s P/ACE MDQ System. The new kit features highly sulphated cyclodextrins (HSCDs) - a family of three chiral reagents that deliver excellent performance in the separation of most neutral, basic and weakly acidic compounds of pharmaceutical and biological interest. The Chiral Methods Development Kit includes a new user guide with a complete protocol. CE uses significantly less sample and reagent than HPLC for chiral separations, while providing broad selectivity and fast results. Documented studies of more than 200 compounds have demonstrated that this protocol provided baseline enantiomer separation for more than 90% of the analytes.
