Abstract: There is provided a chromatography system comprising a first valve in fluid connection to a first chromatography column and/or a second valve; the second valve in fluid connection to a second chromatography column and the first valve; wherein the first valve and the second valve are operable to provide: a mode that selectively allows a fluid to flow from the first chromatography column to the second chromatography column; and one or more modes that selectively allows the fluid to bypass the first chromatography column and/or the second chromatography column. Also disclosed is a method of capturing and/or purifying a target from a sample thereof. In one embodiment, an acidic protein, alpha-1 anti-trypsin (A1AT), is purified by a tandem column configuration using anion exchange chromatography, whereby a first chromatography column is added in between the sample pump and an injection valve, or replaced the sample loop of AKTA system.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed relating to foldable display devices and methods for folding a display device through a range of degrees at a folding portion. In one example, a display device comprises a rear cover and a cover glass layer extending from a left side of the display device through the folding portion to a right side. A light-emitting layer is between the rear cover and the cover glass layer. A backplate is between the rear cover and the light-emitting layer, with the backplate comprising backplate slots that extend from an upper surface through a lower surface to facilitate bending of the backplate.
