Abstract
Disclosed is a system and a method for testing at least one filtration device. The system comprises a chromatography system (3) comprising at least one pair of inlet and outlet chromatography column connections (7a), 7b for at least one chromatography column, and at least one filtration device housing (21) comprising a filtration device (23) to be tested, whereby each filtration device housing (21) is connected to one of the at least one pair of inlet and outlet chromatography column connections (7a, 7b) instead of a chromatography column in the chromatography system.
Claims23
A system for testing at least one filtration device, said system comprising:
- a chromatography system comprising at least one pair of inlet and outlet chromatography column connections for at least one chromatography column;
- and
- at least one filtration device housing comprising a filtration device to be tested, whereby the at least one filtration device housing is connected to one of the at least one pair of inlet and outlet chromatography column connections instead of a chromatography column in the chromatography system.
A method for testing at least one filtration device, said method comprising:
- connecting at least one filtration device housing comprising a filtration device to be tested to the chromatography system at a position intended for a chromatography column in the chromatography system;
- pumping sample feed through the at least one filtration device housing;
- and
- measuring pressure in the sample feed before and after the at least one filtration device housing.
A filtration device housing configured for being connectable to a chromatography system where said filtration device housing is configured to be connected to the chromatography system at a chromatography column position, said filtration device housing comprising:
- a filtration device to be tested;
- an inlet configured for receiving sample feed into the filtration device housing for passing through the filtration device, said inlet being provided with a first connection configured for being connectable to a chromatography system;
- and
- an outlet configured for transferring sample feed out from the filtration device housing after having passed through the filtration device, said outlet being provided with a second connection configured for being connectable to a chromatography system.
