Section 1
Introduction
Foresight ™ RoboColumn units are prepacked chromatography
microcolumns used for rapid process development. Their design
is fully compatible with robotic liquid handling workstations, such
as the Freedom EVO series from Tecan, and allows process
developers to perform high throughput (HT) parallel screening
and experimentation. Foresight RoboColumn units may be used
for qualitative media screening experiments and/or small scale
methods development. Through design of experiments (DoE)
utilizing Foresight RoboColumn units, an operational window can
be defined to aid in developing a quality by design (QbD) process.
The design of the Foresight column offers:
1. Convenience
The prepacked columns used in conjunction with a robotic
liquid handling device allow users to create automated
protocols for HT experimentation. The ability to define a design
space enables process scientists to develop robust purification
processes.
2. Reliability
Each column is individually packed under optimum
compression, ensuring consistent experimental results.
3. Efficiency
The small column design enables users to use precious
feed sample more efficiently while performing real
chromatographic separations in parallel to determine critical
quality parameters.
Foresight RoboColumn units are available in a variety of
chromatography modes including anion, cation, and mixed-mode.
