The Role of Pilot Scale Glass Columns in Scaling Chro­mato­graphic Processes

Pilot scale glass columns are crucial in scaling up chromatography workflows, providing the bridge from laboratory analysis to full-scale production. YMC’s pilot scale glass columns offer a large diameter and height capacity, allowing for greater sample volumes and enhanced separation quality. The Pilot series excels in techniques like normal and reversed-phase chromatography, while the PilotPLUS series supports biocompatible options, simplifying packing and unpacking for biochemical applications.

Key Advantages of Pilot Scale Glass Columns

Built with high resilience and adaptable configurations, YMC’s pilot scale columns handle elevated pressures and flow rates, accommodating diverse chromatographic methods with consistent precision. This robustness makes them invaluable for pharmaceutical, chemical, and biotechnology fields that demand scalability without compromising quality.

Distinct Features of the Pilot and PilotPLUS Series

The Pilot series provides flexibility for a range of media and is optimized for ease of use in normal lab-to-pilot transitions. The PilotPLUS series, designed with biocompatible materials, ensures smooth handling during packing and maintenance, catering especially to sensitive biochemical separations.

Applications Across Industries

YMC’s pilot scale columns support industries including pharmaceuticals, biochemistry, and environmental science. They are ideal for purification processes, complex sample separations, and analytical scaling—streamlining workflows and driving efficiency in both R&D and production.
