Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object of the present invention is to separate a material to be separated at a low cost and constant accuracy when the material to be separated is separated from a mobile phase containing the material to be separated through the passing of the mobile phase through a stationary phase, even if the mobile phase has a large volume. A separation device characterized in that a separation column provided with a stationary phase having a volume capable of processing the entire volume of a mobile phase containing a material to be separated is provided, the separation column is replaceable, and the usage count of the stationary phase reaches a lifetime count through the processing of one batch.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A separation device characterized by comprising a separation column provided with a stationary phase having a volume capable of processing an entire volume of mobile phase containing a material to be separated, the separation column being replaceable, wherein a usage count of the stationary phase reaches a lifetime count by one batch process. 2 . The separation device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the separation column is composed of plural columns provided with the stationary phase, and a total volume of the stationary phase filled in the plural columns is a volume capable of processing the entire volume of the mobile phase containing the material to be separated. 3 . The separation device according to claim 2 , characterized by further comprising: a plurality of pipes respectively connected to each of the plural columns; a plurality of switching valves respectively provided on the plurality of pipes; and a control device for controlling communications between the pipes by the plurality of switching valves. 4 . The separation device according to claim 2 , characterized in that a total of column bed heights of the plural columns is a column bed height when the stationary phase having the above volume is a single column. 5 . The separation device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the volume of the stationary phase is determined based on a total amount of the material to be separated contained in the mobile phase, and a maximum adsorption capacity of the stationary phase.
