Frequently Asked Questions
There are several types of chromatography systems, each tailored to specific separation requirements, pressure ranges, and application needs, particularly in biotechnology and pharmaceutical processes.
Low-Pressure Liquid Chromatography (LPLC): Typically operates below 6 bar.
High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC): Operates in the 30–100 bar range.
Each system can be designed to match different processing scales and flow rates ranging from analytical and preparative to full manufacturing scale. They may be configured to run single or multiple columns depending on process complexity and throughput needs.
Continuous chromatography delivers significant efficiency gains across bioprocessing workflows:
- Increased productivity through uninterrupted processing
- Up to 80% resin savings compared to traditional batch chromatography
- Faster separation and real-time monitoring reduce overall process time
- Seamless scalability from pilot to commercial scale with consistent yield and quality
- Improved resource efficiency (by minimizing buffer and reagent consumption) and lowering operational costs
Preparative HPLC is ideal for high-resolution separations and is commonly used for purifying small molecules, peptides, and biologics such as GLP-1 and insulin. Key benefits include:
- Exceptional purity and recovery of target molecules
- Precise control over separation parameters for specific applications
- Scalability from research to large-scale manufacturing
- Versatility to handle a wide range of feedstocks, from low-volume development to high-throughput production
Sartorius provides advanced automation features that streamline liquid chromatography:
- Real-time monitoring and control to reduce variability and ensure consistent results
- Automated method development to accelerate setup and improve process reliability
- Integrated upstream and downstream processes for seamless, end-to-end efficiency
- Scalable automation that minimizes human error and maximizes overall productivity
Our chromatography systems are optimized for both large molecules (such as mAbs, vaccines, and viral vectors) and small molecules (such as insulin, GLP-1, peptides, and oligonucleotides. This allows us to support a wide spectrum of bioprocessing applications.
