Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of glass chromatography column accessories, and in particular to a glass chromatography column that is easy to operate. Background Technology
[0002] As is well known, glass chromatography columns are a commonly used separation and analysis tool, widely used in industries such as biochemistry and pharmaceuticals. Traditional glass chromatography columns typically consist of components such as the column body, sintered glass core, inlet, and outlet.
[0003] Glass chromatography columns are typically filled with silica gel powder between 100 and 400 mesh, used to separate impurities from compounds and purify them.
[0004] The conventional usage of existing technology is as follows: First, a certain amount of silica gel powder is loaded into the column. At this time, the silica gel powder is very loose, and negative pressure is used to compact the silica gel in the column. Then, the mixed sample (mixing the sample means that the compound and a certain amount of silica gel powder are mixed with solvent in advance, and then the solvent is concentrated to allow the compound to be adsorbed on the silica gel powder) is poured into the column. Then, eluent is added from the top of the column, and the eluent is collected from the bottom through negative pressure. The addition and collection of eluent are repeated to dissolve and elute the compound adsorbed on the silica gel. The compound is repeatedly adsorbed and eluted in the silica gel on the column. Based on the different polarities of the various components in the compound and their different solubilities in the eluent, the impurities in the compound can be separated, thus achieving the purpose of purifying the compound.

[0036] This utility model discloses an easy-to-operate glass chromatography column. Its working principle is as follows: During operation, two sets of support frames and the glass chromatography column are first supported by six sets of legs and a stabilizing plate. Then, the two sets of support frames are fixed through four sets of mounting through holes on the stabilizing plate. After all parts are assembled, during normal use, after the silica powder has been processed in the glass chromatography column, the servo motor is started via the intelligent touch screen. The servo motor then drives the first and second gears to rotate, thereby causing the first rotating rod, the second rotating rod, the connecting ring, the glass chromatography column, and the rotating rod to rotate, thus adjusting the angle of the glass chromatography column. Furthermore, as the rotating rod rotates, it drives the third and fourth gears... The glass column is rotated, and rotational data is collected via an encoder to ensure accurate rotation angle. When the glass column is rotated to the appropriate angle, the fixing cover is rotated to disengage it from the fixing ring. The glass cover is then removed. Since the glass column changes angle via a servo motor, some of the silica powder residue on the wall and in the column falls off. When the glass column needs to be cleaned, the two sets of screws and nuts are removed, and the two sets of second semi-circular retaining rings are opened. The middle section of the glass column is then pulled upwards. The middle section of the glass column, the glass cover, and the sand core are then cleaned. Finally, the middle section of the glass column and the glass cover are reassembled as described above.
