OverviewResolute Linear chromatography columns are designed for large-scale pilot and production use. The range is available from 400 to 1200mm internal diameter, in all common sizes. The columns utilize the proven Resolute wetted flowpath providing low pressure drop and high-resolution chromatography over a wide range of normal operating flow rates. The typical flow range is from 30 - 800 cm/hr.

The patented Resolute nozzle system is used, with identical remote controlled three position nozzles at the top and bottom of the column. This technology allows packing and unpacking without opening the column.

Resolute Linear columns support both fixed and variable geometry pack in place methodology, however the platform has been specifically designed to fully exploit the capabilities of Resolute AutoPak; a one touch system for the fully automated packing, unpacking and CIP of the Resolute range of actuated columns. Where AutoPak is specified a packing skid is not required.

A standard Resolute Linear column comes with the Resolute AutoPak system, 20µm polyethylene sinters, an acrylic tube, 3 bar operating pressure and 100-400mm packed bed capability (100-500mm packed bed capability for non-AutoPak columns).

A range of material options and accessories is available to configure Resolute Linear to your requirements.

Multi-Axis Control Precision control of the piston is delivered by three linear actuators, which operate in unison through the control software to deliver class-leading piston movement stability. This technology is fully scalable across the entire range of columns.

The software actively monitors and controls the position of the actuators to ensure that the piston is always kept level. This provides a distinct advantage over central single actuator designs, where the piston is held level solely by passive seal action and design stiffness.

SoftwareIn a departure from more traditional HMI and control cabinet configurations, control of a Resolute Linear column is performed using a handheld touch screen remote control, from which the operator can initiate all the inbuilt Resolute functionality; including fully automated packing, unpacking, CIP and hoist-free maintenance.

The remote control is universal and can be used on all Resolute Linear columns.

The software is purpose coded for the remote control and is designed to be intuitive. For example, all operator actions and commands are a maximum of four clicks away from the home screen, making navigation and operation as easy as possible.

Integrated into the remote control is a safety enable system that prevents operation while the operator is absent; this can be disabled on request.

Resolute Linear with AutoPakThe AutoPak system was developed in direct response to an industry need for fully automated operations. Often key column preparation operations, particularly packing, are regarded as high risk clean room events. These risks include human error, packing failure, and absence of experienced operators; they can result in plant downtime, loss of product or sorbent and inefficient use of

resources. By adopting a fully automated approach, the AutoPak system greatly simplifies operation, effectively eliminates operator error and reduces the burden on key operators. The automated sequences assure that reproducible and consistent operation is the norm.

Maintenance Hoist-Free Maintenance Mode

All Resolute Linear columns have a patented maintenance function inbuilt, allowing access to major consumable spare parts from ground level, without the need for an external crane or hoist.

The maintenance function provides:

` assured operator safety

` foot print efficiency

Entry into maintenance mode is made through easily followed instructions on the handheld remote control. The column is disassembled using the Linear drives without increasing the column footprint. The list of key consumables and part numbers for the standard Linear column range is provided in the list below.

Maintenance schedules are advised in the operating manuals.

Figure 4: Resolute Linear 1000 in Maintenance Mode

Bed Support Pore Size Options

Bed supports are available in 10 micron and 20 micron pore sizes. The mesh should be selected based on the sorbent average particle size; generally a bed support size < 1/3 of the average particle size is sufficient to prevent particle flow through.

For example, for a 90µm sorbent, 20µm bed supports would be specified, for a 34µm media 10µm bed supports would be specified.

Note that the difference between a 10 and 20 micron bed support pore size makes a negligible difference in overall column pressure drop.

Key Accessories Linear Remote Control

The remote control is the master controller for Resolute Linear column and allows the full scope of operations to be initiated and monitored.

At least one remote control must be purchased for each set of columns. If packing, unpacking or CIP is to take place simultaneously on more than one column, then additional remote control(s) should be purchased as required.

Column Mounted Valve Control

The touch screen device is fitted permanently to the column, and allows the process valving and nozzles to be controlled when the remote control unit is not connected. This permits the remote control unit to be used with other columns.

This option should be obtained when multiple columns are purchased and only one column is packed at a time.

AutoPak Tank Valve Block

The AutoPak tank valve block provides the ability to switch between buffer and slurry while controlling the agitation in the tank. Included with the column is the valve block, mounting, hoses to connect to the column tanks and associated clamps and EPDM gaskets. As standard, pipework and GEMU block valves are included in 316L (1.4404) stainless steel. If an alternative stainless steel is selected then the material change must be stated at the point of order.

At least one AutoPak tank valve block must be purchased for each set of AutoPak columns.

If packing, unpacking or CIP is to take place simultaneously on more than one column, then additional valve blocks should be purchased as necessary.

Resolute Drive Station

The Resolute Linear Drive Station supplies the power and drive control for the three linear actuators.

One Drive Station can operate all columns sizes, therefore, at least one drive station must be purchased for each set of columns. If packing, unpacking or CIP is to take place simultaneously on more than one column, then additional drive stations are required as necessary. The drive station is not required when the column is in process mode. However a separate 24V power supply will be required to operate valves and nozzles using the Resolute Linear Remote Control or Column Mounted Valve Control.

The external material of the cabinet is stainless steel, suitable for wipedown, and use in a clean environment. The cabinet is rated to the requirements IP65. The drive station is a discrete unit which occupies minimal floor space and requires only an electrical supply to operate.

Non-AutoPak Valve Kits

For Resolute Linear columns that are selected without the AutoPak system, a valve kit is available to facilitate process and packing connections. This kit enables manual selection of column online and bypass modes and provides the required burst disk* pressure relief. It is recommended for both chromatography skid connection and packing operations.

As standard, pipework and GEMU block valves are included in 316L (1.4404) stainless steel with all necessary EPDM gaskets, clamps and mounting brackets. If an alternative stainless steel is selected then the material must be stated at the point of order.

This kit is factory fitted, and shipped with the column.
