AxiChrom columns
New
AxiChrom columns simplify column handling procedures
from process development to production. Packing is
facilitated by the Intelligent Packing methodology, whereby
optimal compression of the bed is achieved through
preprogrammed, verified packing methods. Maintenance is
also simplified: AxiChrom 50 and 70 columns have a pivot
stand that allows the user to empty the column by simply
tilting, eliminating heavy lifting and providing easy access to
bed supports and o-rings.

Product highlights
For AxiChrom 400 columns and larger, the swing-out tube
design gives quick access to the bottom bed support
and enables maintenance to be done in situ. Interactive
guidance from the AxiChrom Master assists users through
key process steps.
The AxiChrom column platform features:
Intelligent Packing: Verified, pre-programmed packing methods
that save time and assure accurate and reproducible packing
results.
Intuitive handling: Simple operation and servicing. Pivot or swingout column tubes are safer and easy to handle. AxiChrom Master
guides users through process steps to reduce time in method
creation, set-up and maintenance.
Predictable scale-up: Straightforward scale-up and tech-transfer
due to a distribution system designed using the same analytical
and CFD modeling tools. Sanitizable columns with full technical
and regulatory support.
Media Wand
New
Media Wand, together with the Media Handling Unit, is a
versatile tool that saves time and effort with a wide range
of media handling tasks. The Media Wand is robust, easy to
use, and designed for removal of supernatant, addition of
water or buffer, creation of homogenous media slurries in
shipping containers, and transfer of media to slurry tanks.
Media Wand eliminates the need for cumbersome and
time-consuming tasks that frequently arise during column
packing or when handling large volumes of media.
�� For more information, see page 92.
�� During 2008, the range of AxiChrom columns will be
expanded to include a range of larger sizes.
�� For more
information,
see page 113.
Media Wand allows:
• Simplified removal of transport solutions from media
containers
• Addition of buffers for preparation of media slurry in
media containers
• Simple transfer of media slurry to a slurry tank
