SFC Fusion™ A5

A Revolutionary New Approach to SFC

Introducing SFC Fusion™ A5, the first analytical SFC instrument from Aurora SFC Systems. The SFC Fusion A5 module connects to a standard HPLC system and transforms it into a complete SFC system without disabling features or compromising performance. As no redundant hardware or software is required, the entire install process typically takes less than one hour and is entirely reversible.

• By connecting to existing HPLC systems, SFC Fusion gives researchers access to the benefits of state-of-the-art SFC analysis for the cost of only the SFC Fusion A5 module. For the first time, the benefits of SFC are available in a simple, refined, and surprisingly affordable package.
• Outstanding Performance
• Comprehensive Features
• Affordable Price

Not only does the Aurora SFC Fusion offer unprecedented features and value, it sets new standards for SFC system performance. SFC Fusion A5 produces the most accurate flow and composition, the lowest detector noise, the best detection limits and largest dynamic ranges seen in analytical SFC.

• SFC Fusion technology delivers a breakthrough, 20-fold reduction in detector noise by allowing standard HPLC pumps to deliver CO₂ flow with the same pulseless precision as water.
• SFC Fusion A5 provides a dynamic range greater than 10,000 which allows researchers to measure enantiomeric excess (EE) and quantify peaks that are 0.01% of the main peak
• SFC Fusion A5 delivers throughput and sensitivity comparable to ultra-fast high pressure LC. CO₂-based mobile phase diffusion rates enable higher resolution ultra-fast separations at moderate operating pressures and with conventional particle size columns

Easy to Learn and Use
SFC Fusion A5 employs intelligent controls that preserve essential functions of the HPLC and link them into the hybrid SFC/HPLC system. Agilent Chemstation continues to drive the LC, and also controls all the essential functions of the Fusion A5 module, so for all users, the interface remains virtually unchanged.

Low Initial Investment and Low Operating Cost
When a lab has a target HPLC system available, the only new investment required is purchase of the SFC Fusion A5 module and a CO₂ source. With Aurora SFC Fusion A5, it is possible to acquire SFC capabilities for less than half the cost of a typical dedicated SFC system.

• Minimal learning curve: leverages existing hardware and software
• Easy installation: Modular design and simple connections
• Requires only one instrument for normal and reversed-phase separations
• Works with standard (not SFC) grade CO₂ for low operating costs
