MediaScout^® MaxiChrom
MediaScout^® MaxiChrom 100-X columns are delivered ready to use, packed with chromatography media on customer demand from a large collection of commercially available resins or gel products for bioseparation. Unless otherwise requested, packed media are equilibrated with 20% ethanol or a mixture of 20% ethanol and 150 mM sodium chloride (ion exchangers, IMAC and HIC resins). Columns are sealed with threaded end caps, including a TriClamp® ½’’ gasket and may be stored at room temperature.

Components of MediaScout^® MaxiChrom columns are made from bio-compatible polymers. End pieces and filter adapters are from polyoxymethylene (POM), column tubes from acrylic glass and O-rings are from Viton®. Frits and flow distributors are made from polypropylene.

Columns may be connected directly to, and operated by, normal liquid delivery systems (e.g. gear or peristaltic pumps) or chromatography workstations, using standard quarter inch Mini TriClamp® fittings to make connections between liquid delivery system and column. It is recommended to continuously measure the operating pressure drop by connecting a pressure gauge in-line between pump and column.

MediaScout^® MaxiChrom 100-X columns may be reused as long as the resin remains in acceptable condition, which will depend largely upon the care taken, the cleaning performed and the tolerance of the resin to user conditions. The columns are not designed to be repacked. The column hardware can be completely incinerated. Sterilization of packed columns by autoclaving is possible with many of the commercially available sorbents.
