AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing chromatography column devices are complex in structure, costly, and inconvenient to operate when removing bubbles, making it difficult to achieve efficient and simple bubble removal.

Method used

The plunger incorporates a sealing element and a channel structure. By moving the plunger within the tube, a gap is created to expel air bubbles. Combined with the design of the flared end and venting connector, this allows for easy expulsion of air bubbles.

Benefits of technology

It achieves a simple, low-cost, and easy-to-operate bubble removal effect, ensuring sealing and exhaust efficiency, and avoiding contamination of the cavity above the plunger.
