What Selerity Technologies does

Selerity Technologies, Inc. is a privately held Salt Lake City-based manufacturer founded in 1998 that designs and produces Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) systems, centered on its Series 4000 instrument. The Series 4000 is a turn-key SFC platform equipped with a proprietary syringe pump for pulse-free supercritical CO2 delivery, a flame ionization detector, pneumatic rotary injection valves, and rotary switching valves; it is positioned specifically for petroleum laboratories running EPA- and CARB-approved ASTM methods D6550 (olefins in gasoline) and D5186 (aromatics in diesel and aviation fuels). Supporting the instrument are the SAS-100 50-position liquid autosampler, the Caloratherm active mobile phase conditioner, and a line of genuine SFC consumables (columns, calibration standards, replacement parts).

The company's revenue model combines turn-key hardware sales, recurring consumables, service contracts (preventative maintenance and discounted repair rates), professional training (including a free class with each new instrument at the Salt Lake City facility), and onsite field service. Go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-oriented, targeting laboratory managers and procurement in petroleum refineries and QA/QC labs worldwide, with Agilent acting as a channel partner to extend distribution. Pricing is fully quote-based and not publicly disclosed. While the primary customer segment is petroleum, the company markets adjacent applications in pharmaceutical, petrochemical, food, polymer, and electronic industries, where thermally labile or non-chromophore compounds benefit from SFC's separation profile. The business is operated with a 1-10 person team from a single Salt Lake City headquarters that doubles as manufacturing and method-development facility.
