OPUS® 2.5 - 80R Pre-packed Chromatography Columns

Discover the OPUS pre-packed chromatography column portfolio, which delivers a comprehensive range of ready-to-use solutions designed to streamline purification processes. Pre-packed columns enable scientists and operators to reduce set up time, ensure consistency and enhance overall process productivity and facility efficiency for biopharmaceutical workflows.

OPUS® MiniChrom® Pre-packed Columns

LEADER OF THE PACK

Designed for bench-scale resin screening, process development, and sample preparation, OPUS® MiniChrom® Columns are pre-packed with user-specified resin and supplied ready to use with any liquid chromatography system. Flexible column dimension configurations (internal diameters, bed heights, volumes) allow comparative evaluation of process parameters and the construction of customized resin libraries.

OPUS® RoboColumn® Pre-packed Columns

LEADER OF THE PACK

OPUS® RoboColumn® miniaturized pre-packed columns are designed for automated chromatography process development and sample preparation using robotic liquid handling workstations.

OPUS® ValiChrom® Pre-packed Columns

LEADER OF THE PACK

OPUS® ValiChrom® Columns are glass pre-packed columns that are exact scale-down models of full-scale columns, ideal for process validation, including virus clearance studies.

 

Use of pre-packed columns in downstream chromatography has increased in response to the needs of multi-product facilities and initiatives focused on reducing change over time. In particular, adopters of pre-packed columns have realized the following benefits:

  • 迅速で簡単なセットアップ
  • 迅速な切り替え(カラムのパッキング、アンパッキング、クリーニングの検証なし)
  • 複数生成物設備における運用上の柔軟性
  • 資本支出の削減
  • 運用コストの削減
  • カラムパッキングの問題を解消

従来のセルフパックのガラス製やステンレス製のカラムに代わって、プレパックカラムは最新の設備でエキスパートによって充填され、GMP処理にすぐに使用できる状態で納品されます。 

The ability of pre-packed column suppliers to focus their operations on column packing results in more consistently packed columns over time.  This allows a bioprocessing facility to outsource column packing, a non-value added step for making therapeutic proteins, and no longer worry about column packing issues. This transfer of operational risk helps adopters of pre-packed columns to maintain leaner operations and focus on the most critical aspects of making and purifying therapeutic proteins. 

As the industry evolves to incorporate continuous processing, pre-packed columns are a perfect fit for multi-column chromatography. Banks of multiple pre-packed columns can be delivered ready to run eliminating the need for multiple self-packed columns. In addition, the potential for pre-packed columns to be gamma sterilized provides a compelling value proposition for companies looking to implement multi-column chromatography.
