Sumario:Complementarity to liquid and gas chromatography, supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) is becoming a mainstream separation technique. There is a global demand for more SFC users since ‘green’ method development has become a favorable target for research into sustainable technologies. In order to parallel this trend, there is a need to incorporate SFC into the relevant curricula to provide students with this pertinent chromatographic separation knowledge. There is currently limited SFC training in undergraduate modules compared to traditional liquid/gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Herein, we comment on the evolution of SFC, and the move to this greener chemistry technology with increased industrial applications, to highlight the importance of including this technique in future undergraduate modules.
