The PowerPac preparative HPLC column packer from Biotech provides dual axial compression and a thermostated jacket to optimise the efficiency of preparative separations
Biotech's PowerPac preparative HPLC column packer includes dual axial compression (DualDac) to ensure a more homogeneous bed and minimizes column voids which tend to degrade column performance.
The column packer can be maintained at a user selected temperature between - 10 to 70C by using an external coolant circulation system.
Maintaining temperature control at the optimum temperature for the separation leads to more efficient and more reproducible separations.
The column packer is ideal for pharmaceutical and process scale separations.
The PowerPac system provides columns with packing beds of up to 350mm in a 450mm column (ID=30, 35, 45 or 50mm) and can be used at pressures as high as 200 bar to isolate lots from a gram to hundreds of grams of the compound of interest in a minimum of time and effort.
The column is machined from a single piece of type 1.4404 (316L) low carbon stainless steel, which provides excellent corrosion resistance.
Since the column is machined from a single piece of full stainless steel rod; there are no welded flanges.
The frit is welded onto the piston and is easy to replace.
The columns include a bayonet locking system and adapters are available for common commercial columns.
An air operated compressor with an input pressure of 6bar is provided to pack the columns.
