SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE AUTOMATION OF COLUMN AND MEDIA PACKING

摘要

This invention provides for the fully automated, hands free, packing of c hromatography columns by means of delivering a pre-calculated volume of slur ry and using two different packing modalities to stop the packing when eithe r 1) this volume has been delivered in the column, or 2) when the adapter is moved to reach a bed height corresponding to the pre-calculated volume. Thu s, a chromatography column can be packed in a fully automated fashion and su ch a column is 1)stable and 2) has the desired performance characteristic.
