Analytical techniques for cell fractions: XIX. The cyclum: An automatic system for cyclic chromatography

An automatic system, termed a Cyclum, is described which allows column chromatographic separations to be repeated precisely a large number of times. Provision is made for the adjustment during operation of parameters such as equilibration, wash, elution, and sample flow times and duration of fraction collection. The system is applicable to both analytical and preparative use in various types of column chromatography (e.g., affinity, gel filtration, ion-exchange), but has been especially developed for separations based on immunosorption.
