Cytiva (formerly part of GE Healthcare Life Sciences) - Cytiva Axichrom 50/300 Chromatography Column

• Protein purification in biopharmaceutical production.
• Separation of biomolecules in research and development.
• Pilot-scale process development for chromatography methods.
• Scale-up studies for industrial bioprocesses.

Column Diameter

This specific unit is a 50mm diameter column. Other Axichrom models are available in a range of diameters, commonly from 50mm up to 200mm or larger for process scale.

Column Length

This specific unit is a 300mm length column. Axichrom columns are typically available in various lengths, commonly from 100mm to 1000mm or more, to suit different separation needs.

Operating Pressure

AxiChrom columns are designed for high-pressure operation, typically up to 20 bar (290 psi), enabling high flow rates and efficient separations.

Materials of Construction

Typically constructed from biocompatible materials such as 316L stainless steel and various polymers (e.g., PEEK, PTFE) for wetted parts, ensuring chemical resistance and suitability for GMP environments.

Flow Rate

Maximum flow rates for this class of column can typically range from 50 to 200 ml/min, depending on the packed bed and back pressure.

Temperature Range

Commonly designed to operate within a temperature range of 4°C to 40°C, suitable for most bioprocessing applications.
