Technical Specifications

Upscale® acrylic columns are designed to meet the requirements for large scale purification of biological molecules using low pressure liquid chromatography techniques.
Upscale® columns consist of an acrylic tube protected by an acrylic jacket, a base plate and an adjustable piston. The piston range allows the user to select a variety of bed heights and volumes.
The base plate and piston are equipped with a flow distribution system, composed of an anti-jetting device and radial distribution channels equipped with a 20µm frit.
Upscale® columns feature an efficient flow distribution system which ensures uniform flow of liquid onto the surface of the packing material and out of the column.
The sealing systems at the lower and upper portion of the column have been designed to minimize dead volume which may trap micro-organisms, retain contaminating substances and/or dilute the sample. All connections have a sanitary design.
The column is easily packed with a few simple adjustments.
The piston range is set and pressure is applied on the upper seal by simply operating two handles, which reduces the time required for set-up of the column.
Upscale® columns are composed of biocompatible materials and will withstand solutions commonly used in low pressure liquid chromatography.
