GE Healthcare has introduced its Axichrom range of chromatography columns.
All columns have been designed to support the lean-enabling approach to column operation and maintenance.
Axichrom columns are available with diameters from 50 to 1000mm, allowing customers to choose the most suitable column size for their separation, from process development to full-scale production.
Intelligent Packing, with pre-programmed and verified packing methods, saves time and makes packing less dependent on the operator and a less critical step.
It ensures accurate and reproducible packing results, eliminating the need for specialist expertise, and facilitating faster product changeover.
Columns are easy to prime, operate and service with the interactive guidance from the Axichrom Master and Unicorn method wizard.
Packing the Axichrom 400 and larger columns is guided and controlled by the interactive Axichrom Master, a separate unit comprising a touch screen operator-interface that guides users with step-by-step instructions and checklists through the key steps of packing, unpacking and maintenance.
Axichrom columns have been designed to enable predictable scale-up which ensures reproducible results over a range of column diameters and lengths, easing scale-up and ensuring consistency between manufacturing locations.
Full technical and regulatory support enables the fast, trouble-free set-up and tech-transfer.
The columns are easy to operate and maintain, and even the largest column sizes can be handled safely by a single operator.
