The ChiraDex HPLC column 55x3.0mm, 5µm, contains beta-cyclodextrin covalently bonded to spherical 100 Å silica particles. Enantiomers are separated by differently stable inclusion complexes in the hydrophobic cyclodextrin cavity as well as by stereoselective hydrogen bonding. ChiraDex exhibits broad enantioselectivity and is used, among other things, for chiral hydrocarbons, steroids, phenol esters, aromatic amines and five- to seven-membered heterocycles.
ChiraDex utilizes the hydrophobic cavity and hydrophilic openings of beta-cyclodextrin to form diastereomeric inclusion complexes. Enantioselectivity depends on molecular size, substitution pattern, pH, organic content, and temperature. The silica-based material is typically operated within a pH range of approximately 3 to 7.5.
