A chromatography column for effecting chromatographic separation of at least two components of a sample flowing through the column. The column comprises a housing and at least one solid stationary phase within the housing. The stationary phase has chromatographic functionality and is effective for chromatographic separation. Means are provided for distributing the sample through the stationary phase and for collecting the sample after the sample has flowed through the stationary phase. The stationary phase comprises:

Chromatography column

A multicartridge chromatography cartridge housing for use in supporting several chromatography cartridges in a parallel array is disclosed. A number of elongated cylindrical cartridge holders extend between a lower support plate and an upper support plate. Each such cartridge holder receives a chromatography cartridge which is held within the holder by suitable end caps and tie rods. Several truss rods serve to space the support plates from each other and to support the housing assembly. Fluid flow manifolds are secured to the lower and upper support plates and serve to distribute the fluid to, and consolidate the fluid received from the cartridges within the individual holders. The multicartridge chromatography cartridge housing in accordance with the present invention handles high fluid flow volumes with a small pressure drop and with a minimum hold up volume.

Multicartridge chromatography cartridge housing

A filter media is provided which comprises an amount of particulate immobilized in a substantially inert porous matrix. A least a portion of the particulate surface has thereon a divalent metal peroxide. The metal peroxide is magnesium peroxide or calcium peroxide, preferably magnesium peroxide. The filter media is preferably used for oxidizing and removing soluble iron and manganese from an aqueous fluid. The filter may also be used for removing and inactivating microorganisms from fluids, e.g. aqueous fluids. Particulate filter aid having coated or adsorbed on the surface the aforementioned metal peroxide may be used as the particulate in the filter media, as well as the metal peroxide in particulate form.
