Description

Fully automated multifunctional pilot platform system and its chromatographic system Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to downstream platforms in biomedicine, and in particular to a fully automated multifunctional pilot platform system and its chromatographic system. Background Technology

[0002] Downstream processes in the biopharmaceutical industry include filtration, primarily used to remove impurities such as cell debris, bacteria, and viruses. Filtration includes NFF and TFF. Purification, mainly used for the separation, purification, and refining of target products, involves the use of chromatography columns.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as patent number 202120067489.X, entitled "A Hydraulically Driven Dynamic Chromatography Device," involve injecting liquid into the column through the inlet and collecting it through the outlet when liquid needs to be added for separation. Alternatively, patent number 201820028656.8, entitled "A Moving Beam Type Fully Automatic Chromatography Column," uses a bottom structure consisting of a sieve plate, a flow divider, and a base. A lower nozzle is positioned at the center of the sieve plate. When liquid needs to be added for separation, it enters through the chromatography port of the upper nozzle and exits through the chromatography port of the lower nozzle, or vice versa. The disadvantages are: 1. It cannot achieve upper column flushing or elution; 2. It does not support reverse flushing of the filter plate (sieve plate), easily leading to clogging; 3. It cannot simultaneously achieve high linear flow rate and overload loading, resulting in low dynamic loading capacity. The applicant has proposed a tangential flow chromatography column, patent number 202220697921.8, entitled "A Chromatographic System for Radial and Tangential Flow Bottom of a Chromatographic Column and its Combined Use." Employing a tangential flow structure, it achieves tangential flow filtration while simultaneously loading chromatographic samples, thereby realizing high linear flow rates and overload loading, achieving extremely high dynamic loading capacity.

[0004] Therefore, downstream technologies in biomedicine require different platforms to implement different processes, necessitating the combination of various systems. The drawbacks are: the platform types are numerous and limited; a single platform can only meet the needs of a specific process and cannot be shared. This invention modularizes the platform to achieve different processes, thereby reducing costs.
