BE2 Chromatography Unit
Chromatography is a very widely used separation process in the chemical and biochemical engineering fields. It is a highly selective process capable of separating components of closely similar physical and chemical properties. It is important both at processing and process analysis scales. The BE2 system demonstrates an industrially important type of chromatography, namely low pressure liquid chromatography of which there are several varieties including ion-exchange, size-exclusion, hydrophobic interaction and affinity chromatography. Each of these types uses a different method of separation and respectively these are: particle charge, particle size and shape, molecule hydrophobicity, and biological specificity.
