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.

Step 2: Chromatography Run
In the settings tab, input key parameters for Flash method development. 
The software suggests a column based on sample weight or allows manual selection. Click the arrow to view recommendations and available columns.

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.
