美国泰尔仪器Thar Instruments   
泰尔公司的SFC和提取系统被认为是领先的“绿色”分析和净化技术，用于分离、隔离和确定化合物的量。SFC的原理与液相色谱相似；但是，SFC一般以二氧化碳为主要流动相。与液相色谱溶剂相比，二氧化碳创造了环境和成本效益。

“沃特世将泰尔先进的SFC仪器与本公司的色谱专业技术相结合，致力于把SFC的优势引进世界更多的实验室，用于分析及净化过程，”沃特世公司的全球营销副总裁罗希特·卡纳博士表示，“SFC符合沃特世ACQUITY™超高效液相色谱™的环境理念，也就是在不影响分析能力的前提下减少溶剂的使用。随着客户对环保产品的呼声日益强烈，SFC提高了沃特世在‘绿色’分离科技上的领先地位。”

泰尔公司的产品在制药、生命科学、化学和石化公司以及政府机构、科研院所和大学得到广泛使用。世界各国如今都在纷纷寻求再生技术以解决废物处理问题，沃特世和泰尔则都在致力于使用创新“绿色”化学方法来填补这一空白。

沃特世下属公司泰尔 SFC总裁Harbaksh Sidhu表示：“通过我们之间的精诚合作，我们已经证明了沃特世质谱仪器及软件与泰尔公司SFC平台相结合的优势。目前，我们希望进一步平衡沃特世色谱和信息学方面的经验，以及应用专业技术和强大的服务和支持模式，以向全世界提供先进而更广泛的SFC方法。”

泰尔仪器公司原隶属于泰尔技术公司，专业致力于超临界流体色谱(SFC)的升级和应用。总部位于匹兹堡，在设计、研发和生产用于制药和精细化学工业的SFC分析和准备仪器方面占据世界领先地位。该公司的客户遍及世界各地，包括各大一流制药公司、高等学府和政府科研机构。

Thar Instruments began in 2007 as a spin–off of Thar Technologies which was founded in 1990 by Dr. Lalit Chordia.
The goal of helping chemists become more productive by providing them with products that eliminate repetitive, time–consuming tasks. At the time, Thar Instruments was developing ion chromatography (IC), an innovative analytical technique that enabled chemists to quickly separate, isolate, and identify ionic components of chemical mixtures. Since then, the scope of Thar Instruments technology has expanded to include a broad range of techniques, including IC, high–performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) including capillary and nano LC, accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), automation, and on–line process analysis.

To maintain the highest possible level of safety, Thar Instruments has established safety standards for every phase of our operation. All Thar Instruments products are designed, developed, and manufactured under with the ASME pressure code in mind. We also encourage customer comments on their everyday practices and look to caution customers who are not using true SFC columns or other non–pressure tested components from outside vendors.

Technology: Cultivating an environment of creativity and cooperation since the merger. Innovation and safety have made Thar the undisputed leader in the green separations industry. After merging with Berger, Thar became much stronger because of the high level of specialized SFC/HPLC/GC knowledge gained from the new team in Newark, DE. Research continues at a rapid pace in the former Berger facility while development and engineering continues in Pittsburgh. Our expertise allows us to work closely with chemists in the pharmaceutical industry and customer satisfaction is the foundation for our continued growth and technological edge.

Green Chromatography: Meeting a growing need
As more chemists use our products, the range of customer needs expands as does our technical, service and technical support staff. While some business or finance people may call them "overhead", Thar takes pride in providing Regional Technical Support (RTS) team members around the globe to help our customers at no charge. The RTS´ give seminars, provide training, offer a helping hand in a difficult separation in person or offer sound advice over the phone. Our customers include most of the world's largest R&D companies, government agencies, research institutions, and universities. All 15 of the largest pharma and biopharma companies use TharSFC™ products everyday.

Providing Solutions Worldwide
Thar Instruments headquarters are located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the heart of the former rust belt–turned high–technology community. Our sales and service offices are located throughout the world including Pittsburgh, Newark, the UK and Germany. Thar also maintains affiliated offices in Japan, China, India, Mexico, Spain, Russia, Korea, Canada and Sweden.
