  High Performance

OPUS Valichrom Pre-packed Columns for process validation

With over 10,000 columns packed since 2007, OPUS ValiChrom Columns are uniquely suited for process validation. They are designed to match chromatographic efficiency and bed height of production scale columns with a precision of 1mm, making them ideal for parameter evaluation, process validation, and viral clearance studies.

Robust scale-down process validation

  • Functional scale down modelling (scale down validation)
  • Resin lot-to-lot validation
  • CIP method validation
  • Process robustness studies

OPUS ValiChrom Columns demonstrate reproducible packed bed performance for robust validation, as shown in the superimposition of HETP curves from 16 different units.

Because OPUS ValiChrom Columns match the bed height of the production scale column with a precision of 1mm, they are ideal for scale-down process validation.

 High Performance

Ideal for virus clearance studies

Clearance of virus during chromatographic steps is necessary in case of contamination of the used cell bank. OPUS ValiChrom Columns are ideal for testing multiple and identical packed columns to prove log-reduction.

OPUS ValiChrom Pre-packed Columns for process validation

OPUS ValiChrom Columns are high performance glass pre-packed columns designed to be exact scale-down models of corresponding full-scale chromatography columns. Each column is individually flow-packed according to validated packing protocols with the precision of 1 mm bed height.

  • Pre-packed with user-specified chromatography resin - over 300 resins

  • Can be packed to any desired bed height between 5 and 60 cm

  • Flow-packed with correct resin compression factor to simulate performance of process columns

  • Convenient diameter tubing simplifies calculations

  • Fixed bed height standardizes adaptor constructions

  • Jacketed biocompatible precision bore borosilicate glass column allows visualization of resin across the fullbed height

  • Certificate of Analysis (CoA) includes efficiency (Plate/m), asymmetry, and pressure flow rate.
