What Does CSA Stand For?

CSA stands for Chiral Solvating Agent

Chiral Solvating Agent (CSA) refers to a compound used in chiral chromatography and other analytical methods to enhance the separation of enantiomers. CSAs interact selectively with chiral molecules, facilitating the resolution of their optical isomers in various solvent systems. By forming transient complexes with the analytes, CSAs improve the detection and quantification of chiral compounds, making them valuable in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and food industries where enantiomeric purity is critical.
