Page 5: Plasma fractionation using Simulated Moving Bed chromatography · Simulated Moving Bed Chromatography . Simulated countercurrent movement of solid and liquid phase Continuous column

Why continuous chromatography?

Very high consumption of mobile and solid phase Long column or small particle sizes Low recovery rates and purities High dilution of the target compound

Column bed is not efficiently utilized Process is discrete and interrupted

What is continuous chromatography?

SMB Binary or pseudo-binary mixtures Isocratic conditions

Most efficient chromatographic separation technique

MCSGP (Multi Column Countercurrent Solvent Gradient

Purification) Also for multi-component mixtures Using gradients for elution steps
