There are several types of chiral stationary phases used in chiral chromatography, including:
Polysaccharide-based phases: These phases are widely used due to their ability to separate a broad range of enantiomers. Protein-based phases: These are often used for separating enantiomers of amino acids and other biologically relevant molecules. Synthetic polymer phases: These phases offer high stability and can be tailored for specific separations. Cyclodextrin-based phases: These are particularly effective for separating enantiomers of small molecules.
