GE Healthcare Introduces pre-packed HiPrep Sephacryl S-400 HR and HiPrep Sephacryl S-500 HR gel filtration columns

GE Healthcare has introduced HiPrep Sephacryl™ S-400 HR and HiPrep Sephacryl S-500 HR pre-packed columns, the latest additions to its range of columns for gel filtration. The new columns offer a fast, reproducible, and convenient solution for the purification of large proteins, polysaccharides and macromolecules with extended structure.

HiPrep Sephacryl S-400 HR and HiPrep Sephacryl S-500 HR columns are each available in two sizes: 16/60 (column volume 120 ml) for sample volumes up to 5 ml and 26/60 (column volume 320 ml) for sample volumes up to 13 ml. Pre-packed with BioProcess™ validated chromatography media, Sephacryl S-400 High Resolution (HR) and Sephacryl S-500 HR, suitable for use in both laboratory and industrial scale applications, the columns are ideal for use in scale-up experiments and process development.

Following the addition of the two new pre-packed columns, the HiPrep Sephacryl HR range now provides for purification of molecules with a large range of relative molecular mass, from as low as 1x103 Da to macromolecules of 2x107 Da. All columns in the range are designed for easy connection to chromatography systems such as AKTAdesign™.
