Slurry tanks
1
Slurry tanks help to generate a homogenous slurry and thus play a
critical role in ensuring a well-packed column and a robust and efficient
purification process. A well-packed column is characterized by high
resolution (with positive impacts on purity and yield) and high bed stability,
characteristics that help to avoid costly repacking due to poor HETP and
asymmetry.
Slurry tanks provide:
• Homogenous slurry concentrations
• More efficient column packing
• Improved operator safety and process economics

Inline conditioning for process chromatography systems
Current trends in manufacturing biopharmaceuticals have put demands
on securing increased buffer supplies delivered at precise times and at
correct concentration and flow rates. To meet these demands, advanced
technologies such as inline conditioning (IC) have gained increasing
interest, not only because they reduce the need for large storage tanks,
but also because IC can deliver correct solutions for a specific process need
at a lowered total cost of ownership. GE Healthcare has delivered a wide
range of IC systems, providing a reproducible, fully automated IC process.
Advantages of inline conditioning include:
• Timely buffer delivery
• Automated IC process increases reproducibility
• Allows for use of smaller tanks or disposable bags
• Reduces or eliminates the need for CIP and WFI demands
• Provides better process economics
