SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE AUTOMATION OF COLUMN AND MEDIA PACKING

摘要

This invention provides for the fully automated, hands free, packing of chromatography columns by means of delivering a pre-calculated volume of slurry and using two different packing modalities to stop the packing when either 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. Thus, a chromatography column can be packed in a fully automated fashion and such a column is 1)stable and 2) has the desired performance characteristic.
