AN ARRANGEMENT FOR A COLUMN, A METHOD FOR SUBSTITUTING A TUBULAR HOUSING IN SUCH AN ARRANGEMENT FOR A COLUMN AND A METHOD FOR CONDUCTING PEPTIDE AND/OR OLIGONUCLEOTIDE SYNTHESIS IN A COLUMN

摘要

The invention relates to an arrangement (1) for a column (2) comprising a stand provided with a platform (6) adapted to receive a second end (8) of a tubular housing (10) and for supporting the arrangement (1) on a floor (9),a first end unit (11) removably connected to a first end of the tubular housing (10), an adaptor assembly (14) movable within said tubular housing (10) and an adaptor rod (12) connected to said adaptor assembly (14), which adaptor rod (12) is arranged to extend through an opening in the first end unit (11). A frame (22) is connected to the first end unit (11), which frame (22) and first end unit (11) can be lifted and lowered in a substantially vertical direction, so that the tubular housing (10) may be removed and substituted for another tubular housing (10') with different dimensions in relation to the removed tubular housing (10) when the frame (22) and first end unit (11) are lifted. The invention also relates to a method for substituting a tubular housing in an arrangement for a column, a method for conducting peptide and/or oligonucleotide synthesis in a column (2), a computer program (P) for controlling peptide and/or oligonucleotide synthesis in a column (2) and a computer program product comprising program code.
