Hi to all!

I am looking for a method and column, which is qualified for seperating an optical substance, contained (+) and (-) derivates (Menthol).
I've found nothing in div. application books!
Thanks for your help! :roll:

I found a document on the sigma-aldrich website, advertising the Supelco cyclodextrin GC columns. The columns are methylated cyclodextrins coated in silicone oil, and it looks like they get a separation of menthol on all of their columns listed. I think GC may be your best bet.
