Chiral Technologies, Inc. provides products and custom services for resolution of racemic compounds by enantioselective chromatography.
Company Description
Chiral Technologies, Inc. provides products and custom services for resolution of racemic compounds by enantioselective chromatography. The products comprise high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) columns for analytical, semi-preparative, and preparative enantioselective resolutions, as well as bulk chiral stationary phases, including the innovative immobilized phases CHIRALPAK® IA™, IB™, and IC™. Services range from method development through custom separation solutions for the purification of milligram to multi-kilogram quantities. In addition, process development and pilot studies are offered for projects outsourced for late-stage clinical development. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Japanese fine chemical producer, Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd.
Markets Served
Chiral Technologies, the worldwide market leader in enantioselective chromatography, serves the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and life science industries. Our HPLC and SFC columns are used by pharmaceutical researchers to aid both drug discovery and process development efforts. Custom separation services provide the fastest route from early-stage clinical drug development to market. Our CSPs, including the innovative immobilized phases, play a vital role in the commercial development and manufacture of single-enantiomer products.
Major Products/Services
Industry-standard Daicel columns:
- Revolutionary immobilized CSPs, including IA, IB, and IC, are offered for the resolution of low-solubility compounds and afford a new level of robustness.
- Newly introduced columns, packed with 3-µm particles, are designed for high-throughput screening.
- Bulk chiral stationary phases are supplied for process-scale enantioselective chromatography.
Protein-based chiral columns:
- Chiral-AGP has extremely broad applicability for the separation of chiral drugs.
- Chiral-CBH is effective for the separation of basic drugs of many compound types.
- Chiral-HSA can be used to separate acidic compounds and nonprotolytic compounds.
Custom separations:
- Custom separation services employ HPLC and SFC with purification capability from milligram up to 20 kg of racemate.
- A lab-scale simulated moving bed (SMB) is available for purification of up to 50 to 70 kg of racemate and for establishing operating conditions and economics related to commercial-scale development.
Facilities
Chiral Technologies' headquarters, including a state-of-the-art technical center, is located in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Fully staffed and equipped technical centers are also located in Strasbourg, France (Chiral Technologies Europe) and at Daicel manufacturing plants in Japan.

Exploring Severity of Traumatic Brain Injury with DI/LC-MS/MS
January 27th 2025Researchers employed direct infusion/liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in their exploration of the potential of metabolomics to examine probable primary and secondary brain injury in severe traumatic brain injury.
The Next Frontier for Mass Spectrometry: Maximizing Ion Utilization
January 20th 2025In this podcast, Daniel DeBord, CTO of MOBILion Systems, describes a new high resolution mass spectrometry approach that promises to increase speed and sensitivity in omics applications. MOBILion recently introduced the PAMAF mode of operation, which stands for parallel accumulation with mobility aligned fragmentation. It substantially increases the fraction of ions used for mass spectrometry analysis by replacing the functionality of the quadrupole with high resolution ion mobility. Listen to learn more about this exciting new development.
Measuring Procyanidin Concentration in Wines Using UHPLC
January 24th 2025Researchers from the University of Bordeaux (Villenave d'Ornon, France) report the development and validation of a rapid and quantitative analytical method measuring crown procyanidin concentration in red and white wines using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled with a ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (Q-TOF) mass spectrometer.
The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
