Summary A large volume injection system for preparative supercritical fluid chromatography is described. The method which is based on the solvent venting technique coupled with dilution of the sample solution consists of three steps. The first step is continuous dilution of the sample solution with liquid carbon dioxide at a controlled flow rate. The second step is solvent removal and solute trapping in a packed trap column. Combination of these two steps results in efficient solvent removal and the volume of sample which can be injected in a single injection becomes virtually unlimited. The third step is transfer and re-concentration of the solutes from the trap column on to the separation column with the pressures of both columns controlled independently; the final step is the separation. With this method, mass overloading behavior has been investigated and preparative separations performed.
