Main Features
NGC chromatography systems enable you to do the following:
 Easily create purification and maintenance protocols from predefined
method templates and protocol phases
 Automate multicolumn purification processes using preprogrammed
templates and multiple column switching valves
 Automate multiple sample injections using either the sample inlet valve and
the sample pump or the C-96 autosampler
 Expand sample monitoring using the signal import module (SIM) to export
digital signals to, and import digital signals from, external detectors
 Collect large-volume fractions using multiple outlet valves while also
collecting small-volume fractions using the BioFrac fraction collector
 Automatically prepare buffers using preprogrammed buffer blending
protocols
 Analyze purification results through 1-click peak integration, determine
protein concentration and calculate column performance
 Automate purification protocol optimization using the scouting wizard
 Easily locate fractions containing peaks of interest and view the protein
concentration within each fraction
 Extend the preconfigured systems with additional valves for buffers,
samples, and columns
 Organize the location of the modules to optimize separation performance
based on method scale and complexity, and to minimize the system swept
volume
 Minimize errors when connecting tubing using the Point-to-Plumb™
feature in ChromLab software
