SuperfloŽ Columns


SuperfloŽ 20L Column

The term "scale up" means different things to different people. At Sepragen, it means moving a separation from the laboratory to the process line smoothly and efficiently.

It means SuperfloŽ.

Hundreds of laboratories and GMP production facilities have found the best way to scale up is with SuperfloŽ columns.
 

SuperfloŽ columns are based on the unique radial flow geometry and are ideally suited for high throughput bioprocess applications.  Because of their versatility, ease of use, and simplicity, SuperfloŽ columns allow you to scale up your separation without sacrificing the quality of the chromatography, or adding cost and labor. 

Unique hydrodynamics of SuperfloŽ columns, in a (GMP) bio-molecule purification process, will enable fast and economical high performance fractionation of product-feeds at capture and concentration steps.  The use of SuperfloŽ columns result in higher yields and improved selectivity of the resin. Short beds in SuperfloŽ columns and its tapered design result in optimal "natural" product distribution. SuperfloŽ columns are typically applicable with adsorptive media: Ion Exchange, Hydrophobic interaction, Affinity and Reversed Phase.

Cost reduction in the GMP production area is accomplished through the reduced footprint of SuperfloŽ process columns. At bed-heights of 16cm or less and volumes between 10 and 350L the footprint will be limited to approximately 1m2.  Reduced backpressure and typical geometry will allow the use of cheap and high capacity soft gels which will again reduce time and cost.

Key Benefits

  • Unique radial flow geometry for higher throughput, recovery and purity.
  • True linear scale-up.
  • High-speed separations at a fraction of the cost of conventional columns.
  • Simple to use and operate.
  • Compatible with soft gels or rigid media.

Why do the new SuperfloŽ Columns work?

  • The channels for sample distribution are no longer blocked by the frit, which caused an obstruction and hence uneven packing of column.
  • No vapor locks which caused uneven distribution of sample.
  • Frits are hydrophilic as opposed to earlier hydrophobic frits.
