Abstract
A chromatography cartridge assembly includes a cartridge with a flexible wall defining a chamber, and a porous, polymeric, hydrophilic, chromatography media contained within the chamber. The chromatography media has an operating pressure rating greater than 3 bars. The flexible wall forms a movable diaphragm for compressing the chromatography media. The chromatography cartridge assembly includes a flow distributor, flow collector, and sieves formed from a hydrophilic material. A compression module defines a pressure chamber for containing a pressurized fluid. The pressurized fluid acts to move the flexible wall of the cartridge assembly. The compression module has a pressure ratings greater than 3 bars.
