Description
Chirality exists in many substances in nature. For example, naturally occurring sugars as well as nucleic acids, starch, cellulose, proteins, and amino acids are all chiral compounds. Chiral analysis and separation refers to the analysis of chiral molecules that are mixed together by a range of modern analytical devices and methods, including high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), capillary electrophoresis (CE), sensor methods, and spectrometry.
