In new drug development, the number of diverse chiral compounds is increasing and sensitive chiral methods are often needed quickly. Many new CSPs are available on the market making it challenging to select the most important ones for the initial screening stages and expedite method development. The focus of this study is to evaluate high selectivity CSPs and to suggest the best screening method with a limited number of high success rate chiral columns.
