OPUS RoboColumn :: Repligen

OPUS^®RoboColumn^® miniaturized pre-packed columns are on a 96-well plate, designed for automated chromatography process development and sample preparation using robotic liquid handling workstations.

Automated parallel Chromatography

Shorten process development time significantly by performing parallel operation of OPUS^® RoboColumn^® pre-packed columns in robotic liquid handling workstations, implementing chromatography Design of Experiment (DOE) and QbD (Quality by Design).

OPUS^® RoboColumn^®Pre-packed Columns

Used in the industry since 2007, OPUS^® RoboColumn^® pre-packed columns are designed to work with robotic fluid handlers for fully automated parallel chromatography.

Up to 96 RoboColumn^® pre-packed columns (8 column types in parallel) can be individually arranged on a 96-well array plate according to application requirements. Resin is contained to form a bed between two filter frits and validated with consideration to resin compression requirements, to ensure high efficiency, good asymmetry and robust chromatography performance.

Pre-packed with user-specified chromatography resin - over 300 resins
Consistently packed with correct axial compression
Operating linear flow-rate controlled by dispensing speed of the liquid handling workstation
Demonstrated scale-up and scale-down due to constant residence time
Large number of samples per time, ability to multiplex

Repligenの製造拠点について

Designed for robotic Fluid Handlers

Compatible with both Tecan and PerkinElmer platforms, the preferred supplier for OPUS^®RoboColumn^® automation is the Tecan Freedom EVO^® robotic workstation.

Simultaneous automated step-gradient elution into a 96-well plate
Subsequent analysis in an integrated plate reader
Flexible software wizard

The combination of OPUS^® RoboColumn^®and the Tecan Freedom EVO^® robotic workstation delivers a complete integrated platform for state-of-the-art small-scale protein purification.

screening and sample preparation Applications

プロセス開発

Resin screening / Condition screening

Development of a purification process for a specific molecule requires evaluation of the resin as well as operation conditions for each chromatography step. Using OPUS^® RoboColumn^® on a Tecan Freedom EVO^® generated up to 96 pseudo-chromatograms (1536 data-points) in 1.5 days when comparing 12 CIEX resins at 8 different pH 3.7-7.0.

8 chromatographic separations in parallel with 16 fractions each in 16 minutes
96 individual buffers in 10 minutes

Sample Preparation / Process Analytical Technology (PAT)

In-process fermentation monitoring
Protein characterization
Drug discovery

The development and manufacture of a biotherapeutic requires significant analytical characterization of in-process intermediates. Non-purified samples require sample preparation before analysis can be executed. OPUS^® RoboColumn^®enables one-step purification of multiple samples in parallel.

Using the OPUS^® RoboColumn^® on a Tecan Freedom EVO^® generates 2mg to 24mg API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) per RoboColumn^®run.
