New For Preparative Separation Fullerenes Buckyprep-M

Metallofullerenes face dazzling possible application in the field of medical (cancer) research or as magnetic material with new properties. Since metallofullerenes are generated as a mixture with general fullerenes it is difficult to separate them. For efficient preparative separation of metallofullerenes, toluene is the preferred solvent. The COSMOSIL® Buckyprep-M packed columns are especially designed for the preparative separation of metallofullerenes in toluene. This column retains metallofullerenes stronger than fullerenes. Buckyprep-M column can be used independently for separation, or in combination with Buckyprep, PBB, NPE featuring different characteristics, leading to possible discovery of new compounds. Moreover, Buckyprep-M is effective for the separation of higher fullerenes and other fullerenes derivatives as well.
