Chromatography column

Abstract

The present invention relates to a chromatography column (100; 100′) comprising a tubular side wall (110) having an inner wall (112), an adaptor assembly (120) and a base assembly (125). An enclosed bed space (130) is defined between said adaptor assembly (120), said base assembly (125) and said inner wall (112) of said tubular side wall (110). The adaptor assembly (120) is axially movable inside said tubular side wall (110) in relation to said base assembly (125). The inner wall (112) comprises at least one groove (180; 180′; 180″; 180′″) which is positioned in a lower half of the tubular side wall (110) of the chromatography column (100), via which groove (180; 180′; 180″; 180′″) air and other fluid can pass the adaptor assembly (120) when the adaptor assembly is positioned in a priming position, in which priming position said adaptor assembly intersects with at least a part of the at least one groove (180; 180′; 180″; 180′″).
