LPLC Systems Multi-Column/Continuous

Process intensification and flexibility on a single skid:

• YMC’s Contichrom TWIN maximizes asset utilization and saves space and cost using pre-packed or conventional columns with options to have multiple modes of operation on a single skid
• Multi-column continuous or extended batch operation
• Conventional batch
• Sequential polishing (two different steps (e.g., bind/elute – flow-through) with no holdup
• Buffer In-line Dilution capability integrated

Proven scale-up, scale-down

• GMP customers have proven the direct scale-up/scale-down with our Contichrom CUBE lab/bench instrument. The fluidic design of the Contichrom TWIN LPLC system allows for direct scale-up or scale-down to the Contichrom CUBE FPLC from YMC. Methods developed on the CUBE can be easily transferred to the Contichrom TWIN LPLC.
• Intuitive software for twin-column operation: The Contichrom TWIN LPLC automation and control software is designed to be user-friendly. Operators can easily navigate and manage process setup, execution, and reporting. The software is designed to enable 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
• Advanced Pumps and Fluidics: The Contichrom TWIN LPLC system uses industry-leading LEWA ecodos pumps and is enhanced with an exclusive digital pump control technology providing (1) wide flow-range accuracy for improved product yield and purity and (2) industry-leading precision and batch-to-batch reproducibility.

To guarantee consistent and reproducible performance, the Contichrom TWIN LPLC system is designed with minimal holdup volumes and symmetric flow paths between the two columns, which was accomplished by optimal piping and components arrangements and sizing.

Simple, elegant, and includes:

• Pump(s) with a hygienic design capable of delivering industry best-in-class precise flow
• Multiple inlet and outlet valves
• Air sensors to protect the columns or prevent dry running conditions
• pH, conductivity, pressure, and temperature probes/sensors
• Coreolis flow meters to control and/or verify pump flow rates
• Dual wavelength UV monitors in the range of 280 and 300 nm
• All necessary tubing, valves, instruments, connections, and safety devices for GMP process requirements
• System automation and control with an easy-to-follow user interface
