  • Patent number: 11971393
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may assist in managing, storing, using, and re-using dedicated chromatography column bed supports. For example, devices and systems disclosed herein may include reusable cases for storing dedicated column bed supports when the column bed supports are not in use. Such cases may include one or more dividers and inserts configured to fit column bed supports, and may be designed and built specifically to ensure efficient, secure storage of column bed supports while minimizing risk of damaging or contaminating them. Methods disclosed herein may include performing a particular chromatography operation in a column, removing the column bed supports from the column, storing the column bed supports in a column bed support storage case, and installing another set of column bed supports in the column for another chromatography operation.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190113485
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for determining a slurry concentration for a slurry of a chromatography resin during a column packing. The present invention provides a more accurate and consistent method for determining a slurry concentration for packing a chromatography column. The method of the present invention utilizes an automated pump to provide a controlled flow rate to consolidate a resin sample. Based on the consolidated resin, a slurry concentration can be determined. The determined slurry concentration can be utilized to pack the resin in a chromatography column with highly accurate bed heights.
