The present invention relates to a chromatography system (20) wherein the chromatography system comprises an eluting system (10) and a capturing system (11) consisting of at least two chromatography units (2,3) operated alone or in series and a capturing process employing in-line buffer dilution in, which concentrated buffers are blended with water and provided to the chromatography units.

The disclosure generally relates to methods and systems for determining multi-column chromatography process configuration for capturing antibodies. Conventional approaches for design of MCC configuration are limited to rule based, either driven by UV spectroscopic measurements or by performing number of experiments, which involves a lot of material costs and time utilization. The present disclosure solves the technical problem of identifying the operational conditions that optimized the MCC process and the MCC configuration. A multi-objective optimization function defined with one or more decision variables associated with the operating conditions is considered to determine the optimal MCC configuration, while satisfying purification goals. The one or more key performance measures of the MCC process comprises a productivity, a capacity utilization, a product yield, and a product purity. The significant amount of time and the material cost invested for designing the optimum MCC configuration is decreased by the present disclosure.

A flow passage unit has a column for used in a liquid chromatograph and a support body that supports the column. The column has: a porous stationary phase; a porous pressure adjusting part disposed at least at the flow-in end of the stationary phase, a liquid entering the flow-in end, the pressure adjusting part being harder than the stationary phase; and a covering part that covers the stationary phase and pressure adjusting part. The support body has a first plate and a second plate that are mutually joined, the support body forming a column holding part and a liquid flow passage, the column holding part holding the column between the first plate and the second plate, the liquid flow passage communicating with the column holding part. Pressure applied from the first plate and second plate to the pressure adjusting part is higher than pressure applied to the stationary phase.

The present invention relates to a method for separating one or more components from a liquid feed mixture in an EBA-SMB operating mode without the need of pumps at the outlets of the EBA columns. The present invention also relates to a simulated moving bed separation device with expanded bed adsorption columns which can be used in the method according to the invention.

Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for detecting and mitigating stack pivoting exploits. In aspects, various “checkpoints” may be identified in software code. At each checkpoint, the current stack pointer, stack base, and stack limit for each mode of execution may be obtained. The current stack pointer for each mode of execution may be evaluated to determine whether the stack pointer falls within a stack range between the stack base and the stack limit of the respective mode of execution. When the stack pointer is determined to be outside of the expected stack range, a stack pivot exploit is detected and one or more remedial actions may be automatically performed.

A multi tank water softener system in which multiple softeners can be selectively operated in parallel, alternating, or in series in either order. The system reduces risk of Legionella and pathogen grown while also reducing salt usage by up to 40%.

The present disclosure is directed to methods and systems of purifying solvents. The purified solvents can be used for cleaning a semiconductor substrate in a multistep semiconductor manufacturing process.

Disclosed herein is a packing method for high efficiency chromatography columns starting from dry swellable particles, as well as columns packed by the method and the use of the columns in separation of biomolecules. In the packing method, an amount of dry swellable particles sufficient to give a swollen volume in a liquid of about 105-120% of the column chamber volume is transferred to the column, the column is closed and the liquid is provided to the column.

A parallel assembly of chromatography column modules, the assembly having one common assembly inlet and one common assembly outlet, each column module comprising a bed space filled with chromatography medium and each column module comprises integrated fluid conduits which when the column module is connected with other column modules are adapted to connect the bed space of the column module with the assembly inlet and the assembly outlet, wherein the total length and/or volume of the fluid conduit from the assembly inlet to one bed space together with the length and/or volume of the fluid conduit from the same bed space to the assembly outlet is substantially the same for all bed spaces and modules installed in the parallel assembly.

A system for producing steam includes a source of superheated water with superheated water output; a membrane filtration system in fluid communication with the superheated water output and including a membrane filter with a permeate side and an opposing retentate side. The membrane filter includes a separation membrane constructed to reject organic molecules. The system may be used for removing organic compounds, such as anti-corrosion agents or contaminants, from superheated water to produce steam. A method for producing steam includes directing a cross-flow of heated pressurized water including a first concentration of an organic compound across a membrane filter. The membrane filter includes a separation membrane constructed to reject the organic compound; and one or more support layers adjacent the separation membrane. A steam permeate including a second concentration of the organic compound is collected, where the second concentration is lower than the first.
