AxiChrom™ Column Controller supports Intelligent Packing of AxiChrom™ columns.
When connected to an ÄKTA process™ system, UNICORN™ software is used as the operator interface for priming, packing, and unpacking columns using automated methods created with the Intelligent Packing wizard.
AxiChrom™ Column Controller includes a packing feature with automatic bed detection confirmation that stops packing at a set packing factor or at a set bed height, which reduces required operator interaction. Manual column packing feature with confirmations is also available.
Customized chromatography resins to be defined in AxiChrom™ Column Controller and stored in an easily accessible, separate resin list. AxiChrom™ Column Controller enables work in compliance with US FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11 regulation with local user management/support for Active Directory and an event log extractable through File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
The AxiChrom™ Column Controller should reside in a controlled environment where all communication with AxiChrom™ Column Controller and AxiChrom™ columns is over an isolated secure network. Cytiva strongly recommends that AxiChrom™ Column Controller is operated in a network environment that is separate from the general-purpose computing network of the owner's organization. Cytiva disclaims any liability for damages caused by an insecure network.
