[...] USP intends to develop a new general chapter <xxx(x)> on Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) which will add another useful chromatographic technique to the USP-NF toolbox of chromatography that can be used for the analysis of pharmaceuticals and other products [...]"
For further information and the proposed preliminary outline, please refer to the General Chapter Prospectus on the USP website.
