Slurry Prep SystemsSimplify media preparation and packing for DAC LC Columns
Dynamic axial compression (DAC) is the most popular type of large-scale liquid chromatography (LC) column technology for packing 10 to 40 μm particle size chromatography media. At Asahi Kasei Bioprocess, we understand that the column is only one element of a successful and efficient purification suite in your plant.
That’s why we continue to expand our portfolio of accessories to make your column operation as easy as possible.
Built For You With our lineup of 100 to 600 L Slurry Prep Systems (SPS), you can now slurry, de-fine and charge your chromatography media in a closed mixing unit that easily integrates with your large diameter DAC LC Column.
Whether you’re packing a 10 μm spherical silica gel or a 35 μm polystyrene bead, our SPS will ensure that you have a reproducible column packing experience every time.

Thoughtful DesignThe multi-function design of the SPS permits slurry to be mixed, de-fined, recirculated and charged into DAC LC Columns. The unit is also fully non-electrical, allowing seamless installation into hazardous areas without additional costs for electrical protection or controls validation.
Slurry Prep Systems are compatible with Flash, MPLC and HPLC DAC Columns. The standard SPS includes the following:
» Electropolished 316L SS mixing vessel
» Pneumatic control panel and liquid control panel for manual operation
» Agitator with speed control
» Sidewall sight glass for monitoring slurry level
» Integral decanting dip tube for de-fining
» Slurry transfer pump with speed control
» De-fine, Reslurry, Recirculate and Charge modes
» ASME code stamp (for US installations)
» CE Pressure Equipment Directive compliant (for EU installations)
Simplify Your Slurry Preparation Therapeutics in the 5 to 15 kDa range, such as insulins and oligonucleotides, utilize rigid and spherical chromatography media to achieve the appropriate chromatographic separation. As these processes are scaled up to ever larger column diameters, the need to successfully pack media for commercial manufacturing of drug substance becomes more critical.
These media are based on a wide range of matrices including silica gel, polystyrene-divinylbenzene, polymethacrylate, agarose and hydroxyapatite, each with its own packing properties. The SPS is engineered to manage a range of chromatography media, with gentle mixing and multiple modes of operation. With standard sizes starting at 100 L volume and customized versions available up to 1000 L, Asahi Kasei Bioprocess can accommodate nearly any media preparation requirement.
Slurry Prep Systems are compatible with Flash, MPLC and HPLC DAC Columns

Prepare for Column Packing in 7 Easy Steps Fill SPS vessel with slurry buffer as recommended by the media manufacturer
Add media from your supplier’s containers
Gently mix the media into a slurry with the agitator
Allow the media to briefly settle in the vessel for de-fining
Decant fines from the supernatant; repeat steps 4 and 5 as necessary
Add more slurry buffer and recirculate vessel to reslurry media
Connect to your empty column and charge the slurry using the slurry transfer pump
