Grace-Vydac 4-Inch
Column MultiPacker
Bioscience
Redesign and Build
The 101mm (4-inch) MultiPacker Instrument
provides the ultimate solution for in-house column packing.
The MultiPacker allows users to pack and unpack 101mm Spring
Columns quickly and conveniently. Because it employs hydraulic
and pneumatic packing mechanisms, the 101mm MultiPacker uses
no electrical power, making it safe for work with any type of
solvent and a perfect solution for hazardous environments. The
instrument is easy to use, requires very little training to
operate, and is virtually maintenance-free. The MultiPacker/Spring
Column concept is extremely versatile because the packing system
is physically separated from the column and its internal axial
compression subsystem. The unpacking and the cleaning processes
are also highly simplified. The column bore and piston are easily
accessible for cleaning when the column is unpacked, making
the process simple, fast and efficient.
