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).
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.

Reduces resource requirements
Repligen develops and manufactures products for the biopharmaceutical industry under an ISO 9001 quality management system. We focus on the timely delivery of high quality, consistent and robust products, to ensure business continuity for our customers.
Compatible with both Tecan and PerkinElmer platforms, the preferred supplier for OPUS®RoboColumn® automation is the Tecan Freedom EVO® robotic workstation.
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.
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.
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.
