Small-scale column packing (COL2)

About course

This 3-day hands-on course focuses on optimizing small-scale column packing (up to 50 mm diameter), handling methods as well as testing and maintaining chromatography resins. The course will address factors influencing separation performance and the relationship to reproducibility and stability. You will pack and test small-scale columns, with different design features and dimensions, using several types of chromatography resins.

 - Hands-on practice for preparing and maintaining lab-scale chromatography columns (HiScale™ column, Tricorn™ column, and XK column)

- Column packing-lectures and exercises

- Column testing and troubleshooting

- Column qualification and resin lifetime

A basic understanding of column packing and basic chromatography techniques is required for this course. Prior to attending this course, refresh your chromatography knowledge with these online courses

- Principles of chromatography

- Get to know chromatography techniques
