Agilent Technologies has introduced its Bio-Monolith HPLC columns at the Bioprocess International meeting.
The Bio-Monolith HPLC columns provide high-resolution and rapid separations of large proteins, antibodies (IgG, IgM), plasmid DNA, viruses, phages and other macro biomolecules.
The columns contain a short, polymer-based, monolith disc that allows for 'flow rate independent' separations.
The monolith structure virtually eliminates diffusion; there are no pores and no void volumes, making transport between mobile and stationary phase very rapid.
The column family offers strong cation exchange, strong and weak anion exchange, and Protein A phases.
Bio-Monolith HPLC columns are compatible with HPLC and preparative LC systems, including Agilent 1100 and 1200 HPLC systems.
