Automated chromatography columns
for pilot and process scale
The Resolute Linear column range offers a unique combination of active multi-axis piston control, precision linear actuation and fully automated unit operations that delivers the following benefits to the end-user:
- Fully scalable technology
- Quiet, clean operation
- Reduced operator involvement and error
- Predictable time efficient packing
A patented Resolute nozzle system is used with identical remote controlled three position nozzles at the top and bottom of the column.This technology allows packing and unpacking without opening the column.
Resolute Linear columns support both fixed and variable geometry pack in place methodology, however the platform has been specifically designed to fully exploit the capabilities of Resolute AutoPak; a one touch system for the fully automated packing, unpacking and CIP of the Resolute range of actuated columns.Where AutoPak is specified a packing skid is not required.
A standard Resolute Linear column comes with the Resolute AutoPak system, 20μm polyethylene sinters, an acrylic tube, 3 bar operating pressure and 100-400mm packed bed capability (100-500mm packed bed capability for non-AutoPak columns).
A range of material options and accessories is available to configure Resolute Linear to your requirements.
Multi-Axis Control
Precision control of the piston is delivered by three linear actuators, which operate in unison through the control software to deliver class-leading piston movement stability.This technology is fully scalable across the entire range of columns.The software actively monitors and controls the position of the actuators to ensure that the piston is always kept level.This provides a distinct advantage over central single actuator designs, where the piston is held level solely by passive seal action and design stiffness.

Software
In a departure from more traditional HMI and control cabinet configurations, control of a Resolute Linear column is performed using a handheld touch screen remote control, from which the operator can initiate all the in-built Resolute functionality; including fully automated packing, unpacking, CIP and hoist-free maintenance.The remote control is universal and can be used on all Resolute Linear columns.
The software is purpose coded for the remote control and is designed to be intuitive.For example, all operator actions and commands are a maximum of four clicks away from the home screen, making navigation and operation as easy as possible.
Integrated into the remote control is a safety enabled system that prevents operation while the operator is absent; this can be disabled on request.

| Intuitive software | Easier operator training, reduced risk of operator error |
Resolute Linear with AutoPak
The AutoPak system was developed in direct response to an industry need for fully automated operations.Often key column preparation operations, particularly packing, are regarded as high risk clean room events.These risks include human error, packing failure, and absence of experienced operators; they can result in plant downtime, loss of product or sorbent and inefficient use of resources.By adopting a fully automated approach, the AutoPak system greatly simplifies operation, effectively eliminates operator error and reduces the burden on key operators.The automated sequences assure that reproducible and consistent operation is the norm.图 3：Typical Configuration Of A Resolute Linear Column With Integrated AutoPak

Hoist-Free Maintenance Mode
All Resolute Linear columns have a patented maintenance function in-built, allowing access to major consumable spare parts from ground level, without the need for an external crane or hoist.The maintenance function provides:
- assured operator safety
- foot print efficiency
Maintenance schedules are advised in the operating manuals.
Wetted Pathway Options
The following wetted pathway options are available.Wetted Stainless Steel Component Options*
Can be applied to column tubes, bed supports, nozzle tubes and pipework kits.As standard, columns are supplied with 1.4404 components.|

不锈钢 (1.4435, 316L) - not available for meshes |
不锈钢 (1.4539, 904L) |
不锈钢 (C22, Hastelloy) |
* Stainless steel options are quoted on request.
Bed Support Pore Size Options
Bed supports are available in 10 micron and 20 micron pore sizes.The mesh should be selected based on the sorbent average particle size; generally a bed support size < 1⁄3 of the average particle size is sufficient to prevent particle flow through.For example, for a 90μm sorbent, 20μm bed supports would be specified, for a 34μm media 10μm bed supports would be specified.
Note that the difference between a 10 and 20 micron bed support pore size makes a negligible difference in overall column pressure drop.

AutoPak Tank Valve Block
The AutoPak tank valve block provides the ability to switch between buffer and slurry while controlling the agitation in the tank.Included with the column is the valve block, mounting, hoses to connect to the column tanks and associated clamps and EPDM gaskets.As standard, pipework and GEMU block valves are included in 316L (1.4404) stainless steel.If an alternative stainless steel is selected then the material change must be stated at the point of order.At least one AutoPak tank valve block must be purchased for each set of AutoPak columns.
If packing, unpacking or CIP is to take place simultaneously on more than one column, then additional valve blocks should be purchased as necessary.

Resolute Drive Station
The Resolute Linear Drive Station supplies the power and drive control for the three linear actuators.One Drive Station can operate all columns sizes, therefore, at least one drive station must be purchased for each set of columns.If packing, unpacking or CIP is to take place simultaneously on more than one column, then additional drive stations are required as necessary.The drive station is not required when the column is in process mode.However a separate 24V power supply will be required to operate valves and nozzles using the Resolute Linear Remote Control or Column Mounted Valve Control.
The external material of the cabinet is stainless steel, suitable for wipedown, and use in a clean environment.The cabinet is rated to the requirements IP65.The drive station is a discrete unit which occupies minimal floor space and requires only an electrical supply to operate.
