In this study, the performance of the widely used "golden four" coated chiral stationary phases (Chiralpak AD-3, Chiralcel OD-3, Chiralpak AS-3, and Chiralcel OJ-3) was compared with their corresponding immobilized versions (Chiralpak IA-3, Chiralpak IB-3, Chiralpak IB N-3, Chiralpak IH-3, and Chiralpak IJ-3) under supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) conditions with a set of 30 racemic compounds. Using the traditional modifiers, methanol and isopropanol, the immobilized columns (Chiralpak IB N-3 and Chiralpak IH-3) showed an improved general ability to successfully resolve the enantiomers of the target analytes relative to their coated versions (Chiralcel OD-3 and Chiralpak AS-3), while the coated columns (Chiralpak AD-3, Chiralcel OD-3, and Chiralcel OJ-3) performed better than their immobilized versions (Chiralpak IA-3, Chiralpak IB-3, and Chiralpak IJ-3)...
