Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Considering the high impact of chirality in the pharmaceutical field, chiral chromatographic techniques are gaining increasing interest among medicinal and analytical chemists. Enantioselective chromatography has been widely used in the last 20 years, being a straightforward and rapid approach for evaluating the chiral composition of biologically active molecules.
Both liquid chromatographic (HPLC, SFC) and gas chromatographic (GC) techniques are useful tools for enantiomer analysis. HPLC is mainly widespread in academic labs, while SFC is gaining importance in research and throughput-driven industry. GC can be successfully used for enantiomer separation of volatile compounds of pharmaceutical interest.
The target of this special issue is to present the state of art of the chromatographic techniques commonly used in the pharmaceutical analysis field. We would like to invite colleagues to contribute with original research articles and reviews to the present this Special Issue on the latest trends in chiral chromatographic techniques for pharmaceutical analysis.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Separations is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
