Abstract
A laboratory rack assembly for supporting columns and receptacle tubes and other paraphernalia during laboratory procedures such as such as filtration, chromatography, plasma preparation, affinity purification, and so on, includes upper and lower support portions that are connected together for relative sliding movement. An upper rack module is connected to the upper support portion and is configured to receive at least one column. A lower rack module is connected to the lower support portion and is configured to receive at least one receptacle tube. At least one of the rack modules is removably connected to at least one of the support portions. An adjustment mechanism is operably associated with the upper and lower support portions for adjusting a position of one support portion with respect to the other support portion to thereby vary the distance between the upper and lower rack modules.
