YMC Pilot Glass Columns

YMC Pilot columns are designed for use in pilot and production scale applications with organic solvents (SR version) or aqueous buffers (AB version). This makes them suitable for all common separation modes in liquid chromatography including normal phase, reversed phase or ion-exchange chromatography.
Next to the standard dimensions, custom-made columns are available on request. For temperature sensitive applications, YMC Pilot columns are available with a heating/cooling jacket made of glass.
Column Portfolio
Parameter | Standard Columns |
Inner Diameters [mm] | 100, 140, 200, 300 |
Bed Lenghts [mm] | 500, 850 |
Pressure Range [bar] | 10 - 3 |
Temperature Range [°C] | 4 - 40 |

Packing adapters are used if the packing method requires additional column volume during the packing process. More volume than given by the column alone may be required when the column is packed with the slurry method. A suspension of material and packing solvent in a concentration of approximately 30 – 50% is used, depending on the packing material. The additional packing solvent above the finished column bed will be removed later but during the packing process the packing adapter gives the additional volume which is required for this method.
