Radial Flow Chromatography

Radial Flow Chromatography (RFC) is a novel chromatographic technique that greatly increases throughput by maximizing column surface area with a short bed depth. The mechanism of RFC is similar to Tangential Flow Filtration, in RFC the flow is directed from the outer edge of the column in a radial direction through the resin bed to the column exit. This design allows RFC columns to be relatively short with a small footprint, allowing for high flow rates and low back-pressure. The RFC design pioneered by Sepragen solves the challenges of scaling up a traditional axial flow chromatography process.

Superflo® Radial Chromatography Columns

Sepragen Radial Chromatography columns deliver superior performance with low pressure and high flow-rates in a small foot print. Sepragen invented and optimized radial flow columns to bypass the limitations of traditional axial flow chromatography. The Sepragen columns are highly scalable, easily and rapidly packed/unpacked, have a low dead volume, maximize surface area, and operate with consistently shorter cycle times due to high flow rates (4-10x) and low back pressure.

Sepragen Chromatography Resins

Sepraflo resins are made of hydrophilic copolymer of glycidyl methacrylate and consist of rigid 50uM beads with 300A nominal pores, facilitating rapid mass transfer of macromolecules and high binding capacity. The Sepraflo resins are more cost effective and can withstand higher pressure and flow rate compared to similar competing products. The resins are available in both a strong cation exchange or sulpho propyl chemistry and a strong anion exchange quaternary amino ethyl chemistry, they can be cleaned with a standard 1N NaOH solution.

Chromatography Resins Process scale separation of biological molecules.
