About this chapter
This chapter provides a description of BioProcess LPLC and MPLC columns and illustrates
and describes the main features of columns and column components.
Structural components
BioProcess LPLC and MPLC columns feature a specially designed flow distribution system
fitted at the top and bottom of the column that ensures a uniform distribution of the
mobile phase across the whole bed.
An adapter, in the form of a piston, is used to regulate the bed height.
The column, the adapter and other wetted parts may be constructed of a Hastelloy™
alloy or stainless steel.
