Abstract: A holding system for holding and hoisting a chromatography column of one or more chromatography columns is disclosed. The holding system includes an upright member and a plurality of holding members movably arranged along the upright member. A first supporting member is positioned at an end portion of the chromatography column, wherein a holding member of the plurality of holding members is configured to be engaged to the first supporting member. A second supporting member is positioned at another end portion of the chromatography column. A holding member of the plurality of holding members is configured to be engaged to the second supporting member. One or more hoist assisting members may be also present. A hoist assisting member is operatively connected to the holding member engaged to the first supporting member. The hoist assisting member is operable to move the holding member connected to the first supporting member for hoisting the chromatography column.

Abstract: The invention relates to a chromatography column assembly that offers an affordable self-packed column for performing chromatographic separation. The chromatography column assembly comprises a column tube having a first and a second opening at substantially opposite ends, and an end cap of either a snap fit design or a bolted design. The column assembly may further include an adaptor shaft inserted into the column through the end cap for achieving a desired bed volume. The column assembly may also include a second end cap enclosing the second opening, and an optional adaptor shaft may be inserted into the column through the second end cap, enabling further adjustment of the bed volume.
