Innovative Resin Recovery Port

From pre-packed to unpacked

With an innovative side port that allows for easy resin unpacking, OPUS^® 45R, 60R, and 80R Columns provide the ultimate flexibility in pre-packed column technology.

Without compromising chromatographic performance or cleanability, the new feature helps mitigate the risk of implementing pre-packed columns in GMP settings, and allows for re-use of the unpacked resin in other columns.

In the event of a deviation, and if the OPUS^® pre-packed column performance cannot be recovered, the column can be unpacked and the resin can be repacked into a traditional, self-packed column.
After the intended usage of the OPUS^® pre-packed column, the column can be unpacked and resin transferred to a development or pilot setting for additional use.

Simple unpacking procedure

A simple procedure allows for complete recovery of resin in ≤ 5 column volumes. The OPUS^® 45R, 60R, and 80R unpacking procedure includes the introduction and cycling of liquid and air between the existing column inlet and outlet ports. The process is repeated until only air is evacuated from the unpacking port.

impact on process Economics

Substantial savings in manufacturing costs and labor are realized because OPUS^® Columns offer the benefits that come with pre-packed technology:

No up-front capital expense
Reduction of CIP procedures and cross contamination
Faster campaign turnaround time
Operational excellence (reduced labor requirements)

The OPUS^® Calculator can help you estimate how much you can save when using OPUS^® columns in your specific application.

Request a Savings Estimate

In this example, over 65% cost savings and up to 80% labor savings were achieved when using OPUS^® Columns compared to self-packed columns.

Assumptions: OPUS^® 60R Pre-packed Column versus purchase of new 60 cm diameter automated self-pack equipment (columns are dedicated to a specific molecule). Data presented are estimates and subject to change.
