Prepacked chromatography columns remain one of the critical devices in the biopharmaceutical industry for protein purification
Recently, large-scale, prepackaged
chromatography columns for analytical testing have become available to
commercial and clinical production, and they represent an emerging trend in the
analytical market. For decades, analytical test columns were essentially
single-use devices. As technology advanced, it became necessary to replace
single-use column systems with more complex, durable, and cost-effective
two-dimensional columns that could better withstand high temperatures and
pressures. Now, instead of buying an expensive analytical chromatography system
with expensive accessories, several companies are providing their customers
with ready-to-use, customized, and semi-customizable analytical chromatography
columns.
The increasing demand for
ready-to-use chromatography columns is driven by improved analytical
efficiency, simplified laboratory operations, and streamlined laboratory cost
management. As a result, several companies in the analytical market have
experienced phenomenal growth in business growth, while sales revenues have
been growing at double digits year-over-year. Prepacked
chromatography columns represent an attractive alternative to the
single-user, high-cost commercial models that can be cumbersome and costly to
install, operate and maintain. The prepacked chromatography columns line
represents an ideal solution to address the growing needs of the analytical market
for cost-effective, versatile, and durable analytical Chromatography and
Multicaustion coupled with performance and accuracy, reliability, and ease of
use.
Chromatography columns come in
various forms and sizes and the features they have generally depend upon their
application. In the case of desktop models, the column width varies from less
than 100mm to more than a kilometer. The range of sample flow rate depends on
the type of column and its external dimensions. The average particle size
ranges from a few micrometers to several tens of millimeters. The sample flow
rate determines how fast the droplets collect in the Columns and the
concentration of the analyte present in the sample.
