MediaScout^® RoboColumn
Robot-operated HTS tool in a 96 well plate format

These MediaScout® MiniColumns are of 5mm internal diameter and up to 30mm bedheight. They each contain up to 0.6 ml of the chromatography resins, packed to defined density, corrected for each individual resin material, in order to replicate conditions in larger columns. Longer RoboColumns up to 50mm bed height are under development. New versions of 8mm (24 units on one 96 array plate) and 11.3mm ID (8 units on one 96 array plate) both with 50mm length are under development. Columns are run in principle stepwise, but could be run continuously while the flow is controlled by a positive displacement system and applied by a fixed tip needle trough a special needle adaptor. They are designed for extensive resin screening and for the early stages of method scouting in an advanced way. The volume to be applied can be of several ml depending on the type of system used. MiniColumn efficiency typically replicates that of larger columns packed according to manufacturer’s recommendation. MiniColumns are ready-to-use and may be arranged on the base plate in any specific order, according to the requirements of the proposed resin screening or methods development experiment. MediaScout® MiniColumn arrays are delivered with capping mats and equilibrated in 20 % ethanol, with or without 0.15 M sodium chloride depending on the particular resin. The array may be resealed with the cap mat after use and stored at room temperature in 20% ethanol. Column position may be rearranged by the user should the need arise. Individual column rows may also be ordered separately for replacement purposes.
