Product Characteristics of Chrom-LinX^® Lab-scale Empty Chromatography Column

Chrom-LinX^® Lab-scale Empty Chromatography Column are available in two designs: single adjustable capital and double adjustable capital. The design of single adjustable capital mainly consists of a adjustable capital, a chromatography column tube and a fixed capital. The design of double adjustable capital replaces the fixed capital with an adjustable capital to extend the column volume (Fig 2).

Chrom-LinX^® Lab-scale Empty Chromatography Column are equipped with 10 μm net ring (5 μm net ring being also optional), which are compatible with common resins of different particle sizes.

Chemical Resistance of Chrom-LinX^® Lab-scale Empty Chromatography Column

Chrom-LinX^® Lab-scale Empty Chromatography Column are made of biocompatible materials with good chemical tolerance. The columns can be used in aqueous solutions and almost all the organic solvents commonly used in liquid chromatography of macromolecules. The columns intolerant of chlorinated hydrocarbons, acetone and other ketones, aliphatic esters, and phenol. The columns are not allowed to use the solution containing more than 2 M NaOH, 1 M HCl, other strong mineral acids, or 75% acetic acid.

Instructions of Chrom-LinX^® Lab-scale Empty Chromatography Column

Chrom-LinX^® Lab-scale Empty Chromatography Column may be used at temperatures from 4° C to 40° C and pressures up to 20 bar (2 MPa, 290 psi) with inner diameters of 10 mm, 16 mm and 26 mm, and 7 bar (0.7 MPa, 101.5 psi) with an inner diameter of 50 mm.

Always clean the column and components with purified water before using.

When packing the column, the double top cap can be rotated, and the threaded shaft moves axially. This operation makes the resins easy to compress. If necessary, column packing can be performed using either a packing tube (Fig 4) or an extra column tube attached with a packing connector.
