Principle of Slurry Transfer
Resolute columns can be packed and unpacked with the column fully assembled.At the center of the operation is a nozzle valve in both the top and bottom of the column.Process liquids can enter and exit the column via either nozzle valves depending on which packing method is employed.Top and bottom nozzle valves are identical, making the flow profile the same in either direction.The ability to pack media with the top end cell in place contributes to process hygiene by reducing exposure to the external environment.There are three positions for each nozzle valve.

Effective Column Packing
Contained OperationAll column operations are performed in a closed system; therefore, there is less risk of the operator coming into contact with hazardous materials or the process being exposed to contamination.This results in improved safety and hygienic operation of the column process.
Reproducibility
By eliminating labor intensive column handling operations, the packing parameters can be set and applied within a standard operating procedure.This improves the reproducibility of the packed column performance.
Scalability
All design elements within the column mobile phase flow path are maintained throughout the range (up to 2000 mm diameter).Unlike conventional columns that are based on different seal and distributor cell designs as size increases, the Resolute column sealing arrangement and flow path follow a single design principle that delivers proven and consistent column performance.
Reduced Process Validation
Resolute columns and packing systems maintain identical linear velocities and pressure profiles during the packing process whether in a 400 mm pilot-scale column or a 2000 mm process-scale column.Using the same packing methods reduces the effort required during preparation of SOP’s for large-scale manufacturing packing methods.

Optimized for Efficiency and Scale Up
Resolute columns are equipped with 颇尔’s proprietary high resolution mobile phase flow path which consists of a mobile phase flow path within the nozzle valve body, distribution end cells, and a fully flushed piston seal arrangement.The performance of these important column components is essential for optimal process efficiency, capacity, and peak symmetry.Resolute columns maintain identical design parameters throughout both the standard column range (from 280 mm to 1200 mm diameter) and the larger capacity columns (up to 2000 mm diameter).Operation at high linear velocities is free from non-linear column effects and assures true linear scalability of column performance, enabling users to scale up simply without method redevelopment or impact on the reproducibility of the packing process.
Key flow path features:
- Nozzle valve mobile phase path delivers consistent low pressure drop across column for true linear scale up.
- Infinite multi-port distribution with coned end cell channels provides near plug flow conditions.
- Secondary cone on support ribs provides unimpeded route via top central nozzle for simple and effective removal of entrapped air as well as effective recovery of slurry via bottom central nozzle when unpacking.
- Nozzle tip retracts flush with bed support with no protrusion into packed bed.
High Resolution Mobile Phase Flow Path
Consistent Chromatography Performance
Resolute columns’ high resolution mobile phase flow path enables operation at high linear velocities up to 1000 cm/hr.The flow distribution cells and mobile phase flow path support near plug flow conditions irrespective of column diameter.Figure 3 shows pressure flow curves for Resolute columns and alternative manufacturers’ columns.The columns were filled with water, and pressure and flow instruments were used to measure pressure drop across the filled column under process flow conditions.Resolute columns exhibit identical pressure flow curves, linear up to 1000 cm/hr, at which the pressure drop is 0.1 barg (1.5 psig).Alternative column designs exhibit high, exponential pressure flow curves.During normal operations, actual pressure drop will be the sum of the value shown below and the additional value from the packed bed.Resolute columns support true linear scale up of both the purification performance and column packing methods:
- Elimination of non-linear interference from column design enables monitoring of actual column pressure resulting from media bed properties.
- Pressure versus bed height relationship for a specific media, packed at the same compression, remains constant up to at least 1000 cm/hr linear flow in any diameter of Resolute column.
