Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the shortening of the time required for filling a column with a gel by simple equipment by mounting on the lower portion of the column a filter allowing only a solvent to pass therethrough, and also installing a solvent suction device via the filter. CONSTITUTION:A gel 14 and a solvent 20 are stirred 16 inside a slurry tank 12 into a slurry. During this stirring a valve 24 is closed and also a reservoir tank 26 is evacuated by a vacuum pump 28. Next, the valve 18 of a tank 12 is opened and the gel 14 and the solvent 20 are put in a column 10 from the tank 12 and when the liquid level 30 of the solvent 20 is raised by 10-20cm from the lower portion of the column 10 the valve 24 is opened. Thereby the solvent 20 is sucked into the tank 26 through pressure reduction in the tank 26 via a filter 22 allowing only the solvent 20 to pass therethrough, and the rate of filling of the column with the gel 14 is increased accordingly. The time required for filling the column with the gel 14 can thus be shortened. When the upper face of the gel 14 reaches that of the column 10 the valves 18, 24 are closed and a pump 28 is stopped.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, chromatography apparatuses have required filling a cylindrical column with a powdery separation material called gel, such as silica or polymer. When performing separation and purification using a column packed with this powdery separation material,
First, the target liquid is injected from the top of the column. When the injected target liquid passes through the powder separation material, the moving speed differs depending on the component in the target liquid. Thereby, the target component can be fractionated from the target liquid.

[0003] As described above, since the chromatography apparatus utilizes the difference in movement speed of each component, the filling state of the gel in the column greatly influences the performance of the column. Generally, gel filling devices can be roughly divided into dry methods and wet methods. In the dry method, a vibrating device is used to vibrate the column while filling the column. This dry method has the advantage of not requiring special packing equipment, but it is not possible to pack gels with large particle diameters or gels that are not spherical, and it is difficult to excite large columns. It has the disadvantage of becoming.

On the other hand, in the wet method, a packer for storing slurry is connected to the upper part of the column, and the slurry is put into the packer and is forced into the column using a high-pressure pump to fill the column. This wet method has the advantage of not being affected by the shape of the gel, but has the disadvantage that it requires large filling equipment and cannot be applied to chromatography equipment used for production.

[0005] As a means to eliminate such problems,
There is a filling device shown in FIG. 2 (disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-3260). According to this filling device, the gel slurry is directly pressurized into the column 2 using the high-pressure slurry pump 1, so it can be used for production by taking advantage of the characteristics of the wet method. However, when the particle size of the gel is large (20 μm or more), there is a drawback that when the high-pressure slurry pump 1 is used, the gel is worn out during press-fitting. Furthermore, if the particle size of the gel is large, the gel can be filled by natural sedimentation, so in this case, the gel is filled by natural sedimentation.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, when the gel is filled by allowing it to settle naturally, there is a drawback that it takes a long time to fill the gel. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a column packing device for chromatography that is a simple facility for production equipment and can shorten the filling time.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention mixes a powdery separation material for separation and purification of substances with a solvent to form a slurry, and naturally settles the slurry in a cylindrical column. The column packing apparatus for chromatography is characterized in that a filter through which only the solvent can pass is attached to the lower part of the column, and a solvent suction device is attached through the filter.

[Function] According to the present invention, when the particle size of the gel becomes large, the liquid flow resistance is small even without using a high-pressure slurry pump, so it is not possible to force-inject the gel, and natural sedimentation always maintains a constant column performance. As a means of shortening the filling time due to natural sedimentation, we have confirmed through experiments that a filter through which only the solvent can pass is attached to the bottom of the column, and a solvent suction device is attached through the filter. This results in
Filling of the slurry-like gel is facilitated by the solvent suction action of the solvent suction device. Therefore, the gel filling time can be shortened.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the chromatography column packing apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a column packing device for chromatography according to the present invention, in which a column 1 formed in a cylindrical shape is shown.
A slurry tank 12 is disposed above 0. This slurry tank 12 is provided with a stirring device 16 for mixing the gel 14 and the solvent 20, and a supply valve 18 for introducing the slurry gel into the column 10 is connected to the lower part of the stirring device 16.

A filter 22 is attached to the bottom of the column 10. This filter 22 has the ability to not allow the silica 14 to pass through, but only the solvent 20 to pass through. A reservoir tank 26 is communicated with the lower part of the filter 22 via a valve 24 . Further, a vacuum pump 28 is connected to the reservoir tank 26 .

Next, the operation of the chromatography column packing apparatus constructed as described above will be explained. First of all,
The stirring device 16 is operated to stir the gel 1 in the slurry tank 12.
4 and solvent 20 are sufficiently stirred to form a slurry. Here, since it is preferable that the slurry concentration be low in order for the gel 14 to be completely dispersed in the solvent 20, it is set to 5% to 20%. Further, while stirring the gel 14, the valve 24 is closed, and the vacuum pump 28 is operated to reduce the pressure in the reservoir tank 26 to a predetermined degree of vacuum.

Next, the valve 18 of the slurry tank 12 is opened, and the slurry gel 14 is transferred from the slurry tank 12 to the solvent 2.
0 into the column 10. Then, when the liquid level 30 of the solvent 20 in the column 10 rises from 10 cm to 20 cm from the bottom of the column 10, the valve 24
to open. As a result, the solvent 20 in the column 10 is sucked into the reservoir tank 26 via the filter 22 because the pressure in the reservoir tank 26 is reduced. At this time, the valve 24 is set so that the liquid level 30 in the column 10 is always above the filled gel surface.
It is important to adjust the vacuum pump 28 in advance.

[0013] Therefore, since the solvent 20 is suctioned through the filter 22 in the gel 14 that is spontaneously settling in the column 10, the filling of the gel 14 is promoted by this suction action. As a result, according to this embodiment, the time for filling the gel 14 can be significantly shortened compared to the conventional chromatography column packing apparatus in which packing is performed only by natural sedimentation. Next, when the gel surface mentioned above rises to the upper surface of the column 10, the valves 18 and 24 are closed, and the vacuum pump 28 is stopped. Thereafter, the gel 14 is replenished to the top of the column 10, that is, until there is no gap between the column upper flange (not shown) and the gel surface, and then the column upper flange is closed, thereby completing the filling of the gel 14.

It was found that the filling time was 0 stages/m or more, and that the filling time could also be shortened.

The upper part of 0 may be fixed with a flange. Alternatively, the flange may have a movable plug structure, and the dead space at the top of the column 10 may be eliminated by the movable plug after gel filling.
