摘要:
A slurry chamber is fastened to and held in coaxial alignment with a chromatography column by a V-band. One end of the column has an end cap and frit. A slurry of fluid and chromatographic media is placed in the column and chamber. A piston is forced through the chamber and into the column by a hydraulic ram to expel the fluid and form a media bed in the column. The slurry chamber is removed, and a split end cap is fastened to the column. A threaded recess in the split end cap receives a split, threaded collet. The collet is tightened until it pushes against the piston with the same force as the ram, at which point the ram is released and the column removed for use.

A chromatography column comprises a 2-axis inclinometer for determining or monitoring the orientation the axial verticality of the column tube or of a column component such as a piston. A column inclinometer may be mounted on the column. A piston inclinometer may be mounted on the piston. Outputs from the inclinometer may be fed to a programmable logic controller and used to control the operation of the column, e.g. by adjusting a support stand of the column, or controlling a piston drive mechanism.

The invention relates to a chromatography column frame comprising at least two legs, a support arrangement connected to said at least two legs, and a holder means connected to said support arrangement. Said holder means is arranged to releasably hold an adaptor rod of a chromatography column, so that the adaptor rod is prevented to move in a horizontal direction and so the adaptor rod is allowed to move in a vertical direction. The invention also relates to method of conducting maintenance on and packing of a chromatography column.

摘要:
The invention relates to a chromatography column assembly that offers an affordable self-packed column for performing chromatographic separation. The chromatography column assembly comprises a column tube having a first and a second opening at substantially opposite ends, and an end cap of either a snap fit design or a bolted design. The column assembly may further include an adaptor shaft inserted into the column through the end cap for achieving a desired bed volume. The column assembly may also include a second end cap enclosing the second opening, and an optional adaptor shaft may be inserted into the column through the second end cap, enabling further adjustment of the bed volume.
摘要:
An arrangement for a column comprising a stand provided with a platform adapted to receive a second end of a tubular housing and for supporting the arrangement on a floor, a first end unit removably connected to a first end of the tubular housing, an adaptor assembly movable within said tubular housing and an adaptor rod connected to said adaptor assembly, which adaptor rod is arranged to extend through an opening in the first end unit. A frame is connected to the first end unit, which frame and first end unit can be lifted and lowered in a substantially vertical direction, so that the tubular housing may be removed and substituted for another tubular housing with different dimensions in relation to the removed tubular housing when the frame and first end unit are lifted.
摘要:
An adaptor for a chromatography column, the adaptor comprising a substantially circular bottom plate provided with an end surface; a ring shaped wall element arranged at the periphery of the bottom plate. The bottom plate and the wall element having a common axis and the adaptor is provided with a filter connection arrangement for removably connecting a filter on the end surface of the bottom plate of the adaptor.
摘要:
A method of operating chromatography column apparatus comprising a column tube (101) and first and second discrete end cell structures, associated with the respective ends of the column tube and positionable to close off the column tube and define therein a column space for retaining chromatography medium in use of the apparatus. The first end cell portion comprises a piston portion (106) fitting slidably in the column tube. The column tube and the second end cell structure are separated to provide an access spacing between them. The piston portion (106) of the first end cell structure is advanced through the column tube to expose it at the open second end of the column tube, for maintenance of the piston portion thus exposed. Corresponding chromatography apparatus is another aspect of the disclosure.
摘要:
The invention relates to a system for packing chromatography columns with a chromatography medium and packing method for use in such columns. In particular, the invention relates to a method and system for packing chromatography columns where the column and chromatography media are pre-sterilized.
