Simplifying Method Development
TLC-to-Gradient
The SepaBean™ machine’s control software now includes a powerful TLC-to-Gradient feature, streamlining the entire sample preparation process. By simply inputting TLC data and sample loading amounts, the software automatically recommends the appropriate flash column and generates an optimized elution gradient. This innovation significantly accelerates workflows and enhances overall efficiency.
Step 1: TLC Rf Values | |
Method 1: Using a Picture of the TLC | Method 2: Input the RF Values manually |
Click the camera icon to capture or select an image for Rf values. Adjust the solvent front and baseline manually. Selecting an Rf value auto-generates a gradient curve, or configure it manually. | Enter Rf values for target or impurities; the TLC graphic updates accordingly. |

HPLC-to-Gradient
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) depends on precise elution gradients for accurate separation. Modern systems now automate gradient design by leveraging HPLC analysis data to recommend an optimized flash chromatography method as a starting point.
Step 1 | Step 2 |
Enter the Analytical Data | Recommended Flash Chromatography Method |
Enter the analytical HPLC data, including the sample retention time, the percentage of Solvent B at the elution point of a specific component, and the peak areas of both the target product and primary impurities. | The system will automatically generate the appropriate elution gradient based on this information. |
