Abstract
A clamp assembly includes a rail configured to receive a first fluidic assembly, and a carriage slidably mounted to the rail and configured to receive a second fluidic assembly. The carriage is operable to establish a first fluid tight seal between the first fluidic assembly and a chromatography column received within the claim assembly, and to establish a second fluid tight seal between the second fluidic assembly and the chromatography column.
Claims20
A column assembly comprising:
- a chromatography column comprising a compliant seal defining a fluid passage configured to seal against a tapered fluid conduit without the use of a ferrule or a threaded compression screw.
An apparatus for establishing fluid communication between a chromatography column and a guard cartridge or a filter cartridge,
- the apparatus defining a cavity for receiving a guard cartridge or a filter cartridge, and comprising a compliant seal,
- wherein the compliant seal defines a fluid passage configured to seal against a tapered fluid conduit without the use of a ferrule or a threaded compression screw.
