Minimum order is one row of 8 OPUS  RoboColumn pre-packed columns  with the same resin and column dimension.

 Automation

Automated parallel chromatography

Shorten process development time significantly by performing parallel operation of OPUS RoboColumn pre-packed columns in robotic liquid handling workstations, implementing chromatography Design of Experiment (DOE) and QbD (Quality by Design).

Designed for robotic fluid handlers 

Compatible with both Tecan and PerkinElmer platforms, the preferred supplier for OPUS RoboColumn automation is the Tecan Freedom EVO® robotic workstation.

  • Simultaneous automated step-gradient elution into a 96-well plate
  • Subsequent analysis in an integrated plate reader
  • Flexible software wizard 

The combination of OPUS RoboColumn and the Tecan Freedom EVO® robotic workstation delivers a complete integrated platform for state-of-the-art small-scale protein purification.

 High Performance

Process Development

  • Resin screening / Condition screening

Development of a purification process for a specific molecule requires evaluation of the resin as well as operation conditions for each chromatography step. Using OPUS RoboColumn on a Tecan Freedom EVO® generated up to 96 pseudo-chromatograms (1536 data-points) in 1.5 days when comparing 12 CIEX resins at 8 different pH 3.7-7.0.

  • 8 chromatographic separations in parallel with 16 fractions each in 16 minutes
  • 96 individual buffers in 10 minutes

Sample Preparation / Process Analytical Technology (PAT)

  • In-process fermentation monitoring
  • Protein characterization
  • Drug discovery

The development and manufacture of a biotherapeutic requires significant analytical characterization of in-process intermediates.  Non-purified samples require sample preparation before analysis can be executed. OPUS RoboColumn enables one-step purification of multiple samples in parallel.

Using the OPUS RoboColumn on a Tecan Freedom EVO® generates 2mg to 24mg API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) per RoboColumn® run.

OPUS RoboColumn Pre-packed Chromatography Colums

Used in the industry since 2007, OPUS RoboColumn pre-packed columns are designed to work with robotic fluid handlers for fully automated parallel chromatography.

Up to 96 RoboColumn pre-packed columns (8 column types in parallel) can be individually arranged on a 96-well array plate according to application requirements. Resin is contained to form a bed between two filter frits and validated with consideration to resin compression requirements, to ensure high efficiency, good asymmetry and robust chromatography performance.
