A HIGH THROUGHPUT FLASH PURIFICATION STAND AND CARTRIDGE

摘要

A chromatography stand for supporting a chromatographic column in use for chromatographic analysis has a first and a second platen adapted to receive and hold the chromatographic column therebetween. The first and second platens are mounted on a frame in generally opposed relation for relative movement toward and away from each other. At least one of the first and second platens is constructed for plug-in connection to the chromatographic column such that the column is positively located relative to the platens and placed in fluid connection through said at least one platen. In one embodiment, the cartridges can be stacked between the platens. The cartridges can be quickly and efficiently pre-loaded with sample. In one embodiment, the cartridges have an end cap adapted to contact an interior surface of a tube to form a fluid-tight connection between the end cap and the tube.
