Auto Column
Auto Column
The Auto Column series is a standard platform that comes in combination with an Auto Packing Station. Adapter height can be controlled by the motors present in the packing station allowing the user to achieve variable height by compression of the resin bed. The contemporary design of the Auto Column series includes a slurry valve to optimize packing and unpacking of the resin. The novel arm mechanism makes it possible to slide out to smooth the column tube with minimal effort, easing maintenance.

Chemical resistance of Auto Columns :-
| Chemicals | Concentration | Compatibility |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrochloric Acid | 0.1M | *1 |
| NaCl | 2M | *2 |
| NaOH | 2M | Ok |
| Acetic Acid | 10% | Ok |
| Ethanol | 10% | *3 |
| Acetone | 10% | *3*4 |
-
Avoid contact for more than 4 hours.
-
Can be used in normal operation, but not used in NaCl solution to store long-term. *Note- stainless steel will corrode by NaCl at lower than pH4 acidic environment.
-
Not recommended because the surface of the tube is clouded by contact.
-
Can be used at 1% to 2% of acetone at which to measure the HETP.
