Biotage® Sfär

The process of packing our columns has make huge steps since the first pre-packed column more than 20 years ago, reaching very high quality standards that make your projects move faster because the separation runs the first time. All Sfär columns come with a printed, unique identifier to enable recognition and categorization based on the application. Thanks to the unique QR code on every column, it is extremely quick and easy to load the column data into the instrument when used with Biotage® Selekt. This will immediately set the ideal conditions in terms of flow and pressure to run the column. Sfär columns can be run up to a pressure from 12 bar (Duo) to 20 bar (Closed) depending on the size, higher that many other commercially available columns.

Chemistry, by its very nature, involves the use of chemicals that can be harmful, toxic and potentially damaging to the environment. Drug discovery currently has a large and expensive environmental footprint so finding a solution is good for both the chemist and the environment. A first step to a greener purification is using a column with a higher loading capacity, so you can purify the same amount of sample on a smaller column and hence use lower flow rates and less solvent; and ultimately finish the job quicker. This will make your whole process greener, less expensive and also more efficient. The best way to experience that is with the Biotage® Sfär HC (High Capacity).

The unique design of Biotage® Sfär makes it possible to load your columns in six different ways, including three different dry loading options thanks to the patented Biotage Samplet® and DLV. For your difficult separations, when you want to utilize dry loading in the most convenient way, take advantage of the orange flower shaped cap of Biotage® Sfär D (Duo). When used with Biotage® Selekt, flash purification system, the instrument will suggest the optimal cartridge for your conditions and will help you in optimizing your separation even further.
