Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) is a rapidly developing laboratory technique for the separation and identification of compounds in mixtures. Recent, significant improvements in instrumentation have rekindled interest in SFC and have enhanced its standing in the scientific community. Many scientists are familiar with column liquid chromatography and its potential beyond traditional liquid chromatography, yet many of its capabilities remain underappreciated. Supercritical Fluid Chromatography and Extraction explores contemporary supercritical fluid chromatography and extraction and how it should be implemented in laboratory science for analysis, isolation, and production.

Caroline West
Caroline West received a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Paris-Saclay, France (2005) then was appointed as an Assistant Professor in analytical chemistry at the University of Orleans, France. She was later promoted to Full Professor (2020) in the same university. Her main scientific interests lie in fundamentals of chromatographic separation in liquids and supercritical fluids, both in achiral and chiral modes. She also applies these methods to different samples, such as pharmaceuticals and natural products. She is the author of over 100 papers, 7 book chapters, and has presented above 100 talks in national and international conferences and seminars. In 2015, she received the “LC‐GC Emerging Leader in Chromatography” award from LC‐GC North America and was ranked several times among the most influential people in analytical chemistry by “The Analytical Scientist” magazine (“Top 40 under 40” 2014 & 2018, “The Power List” 2019, 2020 & 2021). More recently, she was the recipient of the Jubilee medal from the Chromatographic Society (2021).
