Patents
G-Flash LLC has been awarded several patents for the key advances that protect the underlying technology essential to GFC platform. These patents are effective in the US, the EU, and additional jurisdictions worldwide. They include:
US Patent #10,765,968: “Supercritical Fluid Chromatography System”.
Patent covers the introduction of the 3 technologies that make G-Flash possible; super cooling the liquid CO2 to bring the density to ~1 gram/ml and allow efficient pumping in a chromatography system, the Pressure Containment Assembly which affords the use of traditional plastic Flash cartridges at the elevated operation pressures for sc-CO2 chromatography (1750psi/120Bar), and the Gas-Liquid Separator that effectively and efficiently collects the analyte fractions from the system with recoveries 95%+.
US Patent #10,610,808: “Systems and Methods for Supercritical Fluid Chromatography”.
Patent covers expansion on the 3 technologies that make G-Flash possible; super cooling the liquid CO2 to bring the density to ~1 gram/ml and allow efficient pumping in a chromatography system, the Pressure Containment Assembly which affords the use of traditional plastic Flash cartridges at the elevated operation pressures for sc-CO2 chromatography (1750psi/120Bar), and the Gas-Liquid Separator that effectively and efficiently collects the analyte fractions from the system with recoveries 95%+.
US Patent #11,022,350: “Cooling Loop with Supercritical Fluid System Using Compressed Refrigerant Fluid Flow with a Positive Joule-Thompson Coefficient”.
The Patent introduces the concept of supercooling the liquid CO2 to increase the density to ~ 1gram/ml to afford efficient and accurate pumping. Effectively allowing the pumping of CO2 liquid like a traditional organic solvent.
US Patent #11,680,735: “Supercritical Fluid Chromatography System”.

US Patent #11,913,685: “Cooling Loop with Supercritical Fluid System Using Compressed Refrigerant Fluid Flow with a Positive Joule-Thompson Coefficient”.
The Patent expands and refines the concept of supercooling the liquid CO2 to increase the density to ~ 1gram/ml to afford efficient and accurate pumping. Effectively allowing the pumping of CO2 liquid like a traditional organic solvent.
US Patent #11,946,915: “Interchangeable Chromatography Cartridge Adapter System”.
The Patent expands and refines the preliminary design efforts and concepts for the Pressure Containment Assembly (PCA) plastic cartridge adaptor allowing the use of traditional flash chromatography cartridges at the elevated pressure of sc-CO2 Chromatography.
US Patent #12,036,566: “Gas-Liquid Separator Assembly”.
The Patent details the Gas-Liquid Separator that effectively and efficiently collects the analyte fractions from theG-Flashsc-CO2 system with recoveries of 95%+.
US 2024/02261704 A1 (Pending): “Interchangeable Chromatography Cartridge Adapter System”:
The Patent expands and refines the preliminary design efforts and concepts for the Pressure Containment Assembly (PCA) plastic cartridge adaptor allowing the use of traditional flash chromatography cartridges at the elevated pressure of sc-CO2 Chromatography.
