A method and apparatus for performing chromatographic separations utilizing horizontal flow through the separating medium bed are disclosed. The chromatographic separations may be carried out by using an apparatus involving a cylindrical column construction wherein the horizontal flow is in a radial direction as it passes through the separating medium bed or an apparatus involving a cubical column construction wherein the flow traverses from one end of the separating medium bed to the other end horizontally. The apparatus includes means for distributing the flow, achieving horizontal streamlines and collecting separated components. In one embodiment, the separating medium bed in adjustable in height. |
