Column Analytical ColumnPrep Column
Particle size (µm)55
Length (mm)150
Diameter (mm)
Column Volume (empty) (mL)2.511.8
Equilibration time (min)12.512.6
Weight of packing mat (g)*1.57.1
Scaling Factor4.7
Flow rate (mL/min)9.4

Notes:
  • Back pressure stays constant if column length stays constant.
  • Back pressure will increase with decrease in particle size.
  • Efficiency will increase with decrease in particle size.
  • With scale up change in hardware and flow cell may be required.
