Multi-column Continuous Chromatography System

Lot number: 1

Description

Lot 1 - Multi-column Continuous Chromatography System

CGTC are looking for the purchase and installation of a multi-column chromatography system (MCCS) and related services e.g service, repair and maintenance contract, training and consumables for our Braintree Essex site. The instrument will be a fully automated chromatography system applicable for biopharmaceutical production. The main key feature of the multi-column chromatography technology is the use of a series of interconnected columns allowing the first column to reach breakthrough during loading which significantly improves the utilisation of the chromatographic resin or membrane. A typical application of the technology is for capture chromatography however it is not limited to it.
