Glass chromatography columns for process development or biopharmaceutical manufacture, designed for hygienic operation and easy, efficient packing. Scalable from 100 mm to 450 mm inner diameter (i.d.) and bed volumes from 2 up to 121 liters. Pressure rating from 2.5 bar to 8 bar, depending on column size. Glass column tube allows efficient and reproducible packing. Material Certificates Reports (BPG MCR) available for ordering. Installation and Operational Qualification Documentation Packages available. Hygienic design and operation. Microbial attachment and growth is prevented through the use of calibrated precision glass, high-grade electropolished stainless steel and an absence of dead pockets. Easy, efficient packing and running with the single-screw adapter. All polymeric materials meet the requirements for USP class VI, described in USP Biological Reactivity Tests, in vivo. Isolating the column after packingSanitary stainless steel valves of the appropriate inner diameter are recommended to prevent contamination of the packed bed. The 2-way or 4-way valves with 6 mm internal diameter are suitable for BPG 100, 140, and 200 columns. The 10 mm internal diameter is suitable for BPG 300 and 450 columns. For storage purposes, the 25 mm blind flange with a clamp and gasket can be used to seal off the column.Connecting the column to your systemA clamp and gasket, 6 or 10 mm internal diameter, are required to connect the 25 mm sanitary flanged inlet/outlet to either valves or tubing of the same type. Preflanged tubing in 6 and 10 mm internal diameter is available.Assembly/disassembly of columnA torque wrench with an appropriate sized socket is required and can be ordered separately.What else do you need?Stand kits must be ordered separately.BPG 100 stand kit has adjustable feet; wheels with brakes are available: product code 18-1031-10. BPG 140 and 200 stands have wheels with brakes as standard: product code 18-1031-20. BPG 300 and 450 are supplied with stainless steel stand with wheels and foot-operated brakes.Useful spare parts and accessoriesNets: The column is delivered with 23 µm (polypropylene) nets.
