Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus (200) for bio-product processing. The apparatus (200) comprise a processing column (201) comprising an upper column tube (202B) releasably coupled to a lower column tube (202A). The lower column tube (202A) has a processing chamber (218) provided therein. The apparatus (200) additionally comprises an adapter (222) for moving within the processing column (201) so as to vary the volume of the processing chamber (218) within the lower column tube (202A), and a column stand (214) for supporting the adapter (222).

Abstract: A chromatographic column that includes a distributor plate secured to a backing plate of the chromatography column without the need for releasable fixing means such as screws or bolts, by employing a negative pressure or vacuum to affix the distributor to the backing plate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for conducting maintenance on chromatography columns used in industrial-scale chromatography. In particular, the invention is concerned with safer methods for performing maintenance on such columns, such as cleaning and replacing bed supports, distributors, nozzles, O-rings and other column components, by the use of a handling device to support, lift, carry and manipulate such column components.

Abstract: A chromatography column and method of maintenance is described which does not require the use of a hoist or crane for disassembly. The method provides improved operator safety by reducing the need for the operator to work below a suspended or supported load within the column. Furthermore, the removal or replacement of column components is facilitated by providing access to the interior of the column and by the provision of a handling device.
