Abstract
This chapter introduces a novel system called the cross-axis synchronous flow-through coil planet centrifuge. The apparatus holds a coil holder in such a way that the axis of the holder is positioned perpendicular to and at a fixed distance away from the centrifuge axis. Mathematical analysis of acceleration generated by this planetary motion revealed a unique distribution pattern of centrifugal force vectors which promises a high performance of the present scheme in counter-current chromatography. Countercurrent chromatography (CCC) utilizes complex hydrodynamic interaction of two immiscible solvent phases in a tubular column space free of solid support matrix. Comparative studies with various other types of synchronous planetary motion strongly suggest that the present system will yield a high performance in CCC. The horizontal axis of the holder and the vertical axis of the centrifuge are always kept perpendicular to each other and with a fixed distance.
