The Shodex ORpak CDBS-453 chiral HPLC column 150x4.6mm, 3µm, is based on silica with a β-cyclodextrin derivative as the chiral selector. Enantiomers form differently stable inclusion complexes and additional hydrogen-bonding and dipole interactions, enabling the Shodex ORpak CDBS-453 to provide direct enantioselective separation. Typical applications are chiral pharmaceuticals and intermediates such as voriconazole, lamivudine or epinephrine; the phase corresponds to USP classification L45.
ORpak CDBS-453 uses a β-cyclodextrin derivative on porous silica. The chiral cavity of the cyclodextrin distinguishes enantiomers based on size, shape, and the spatial arrangement of functional groups. In addition, hydrogen bonding, dipole forces, and hydrophobic interactions can influence enantioselectivity. The mobile phase must be selected so that inclusion complex formation and additional interactions remain in balance.
