Abstract
Disclosed is a device for chromatographic separations comprising: a manifold comprising a manifold body defining an elongate central duct, the central duct comprising a centrally-located closable duct valve providing selective fluid communication between a first portion of the central duct and an opposed second portion of the central duct, a first plurality of connectors, each connector of the first plurality of connectors for connecting to a distinct chromatographic separation column and/or feed or extraction tubing or to a connector of an adjacent manifold; a second plurality of connectors, each connector of the second plurality of connectors for connecting to a distinct chromatographic separation column and/or feed or extraction tubing or to a connector of an adjacent manifold; wherein said manifold body further defines: a first plurality of branch ducts, each branch duct of which extending from the first portion of the central duct to an individual one of the first plurality of connectors, each of the branch ducts of the first plurality of branch ducts comprising a closable branch valve providing selectable fluid communication between a respective connector and the first portion of the central duct, a second plurality of branch ducts, each branch duct of which extending from the second portion of the central duct to an individual one of the second plurality of connectors, each of the branch ducts of the second plurality of branch ducts comprising a closable branch valve providing selectable fluid communication between a respective connector and the second portion of the central duct; first and second ports in fluid communication with the centrally-located closable duct valve wherein said first port communicates with said first portion of the central duct and said second port communicates with said second portion of said central duct, wherein one of said first and second ports is further positioned to communicate with said central duct at a location between the centrally-located closable duct valve and the first and second plurality of branch ducts, respectively.
