Explore how supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) can transform your lab’s efficiency and sustainability. This free online course from Shimadzu introduces the fundamentals of SFC—an innovative, greener alternative to traditional liquid chromatography.
You’ll learn what supercritical fluids are and how SFC evolved into a powerful analytical and preparative technique. The course then covers core instrumentation, key advantages over HPLC, and practical steps to adapt your existing LC system to SFC.

Discover how SFC dramatically reduces solvent use, shortens analysis times, and lowers operational costs—helping you meet both performance and sustainability goals.
Each week focuses on a key topic:
- Week 1: What Are Supercritical Fluids? / History of SFC
- Week 2: SFC Instrumentation & Advantages
- Week 3: Analytical Conditions – Stationary Phases
- Week 4: Analytical Conditions – Mobile Phase & Parameters
- Week 5: Preparative SFC
The course wraps up with an FAQ, summary, and final test. Complete it successfully to earn a certificate of achievement.
Whether you’re new to chromatography or looking to modernise your workflow, this course will show you how SFC can deliver faster separations, higher efficiency, and a smaller environmental footprint.
