Rapid, High Capacity Evaporation Solutions for Sophisticated Fractionation Processes
In the quest to find novel flavor ingredients from nature, powerful equipment that can produce and
concentrate fractions derived from natural extracts is essential. Conventionally, many steps of
fractionation and evaluation are necessary until a compound is obtained at the purity required for
structural analysis.
International Flavors & Fragrances Inc (IFF) has developed a state of the art fractionation process using
the most modern equipment for this purpose. Key components of this system are the Sepbox® instrument
made by Sepiatec GmbH (Germany) and the Genevac® HT-24 (Genevac Ltd., UK). The Sepbox allows
for two dimensional, preparative scale fractionation of natural products using high performance liquid
chromatography – solid phase extraction (HPLC-SPE). In sequential HPLC-SPE / HPLC-SPE steps
individual components are isolated from complex mixtures. The Sepbox automates all of these stages.
