Automated Flash Chromatography

Flash Chromatography Cartridges

Achieve faster separations, tighter elution bands, and greater loading capacity with Sorbtech Flash Columns.

Flash chromatography cartridges—often called flash columns—play a key role in automated flash chromatography. They not only speed up purification but also help researchers maximize their budgets. With Sorbtech Purity™ Pre-Packed and EZ Flash (empty) cartridges, you can run more reliable purifications. In addition, because these cartridges are made from solvent-resistant polypropylene, they withstand harsh conditions and maintain long-lasting performance.

Flash Chromatography Cartridges - Sorbtech Purity

Why Choose Pre-Packed Over Self-Packed?

When you use pre-packed cartridges, you save time and gain consistency. For instance, they allow faster purifications at higher pressures, while finer particle silica supports greater sample loading. As a result, you achieve better reproducibility from run to run. Furthermore, pre-packed cartridges eliminate the risks linked to glass column breakage, making your workflow both safer and more efficient.

Purity Flash Cartridge

Sorbtech Purity™ Pre-Packed Cartridges

Purity™ Flash Cartridges offer several advantages. First, proprietary packing methods improve speed, resolution, and loading capacity. Next, their leak-free design allows operation at pressures up to 400 psi. In addition, each cartridge contains Premium Rf Silica Gel, which delivers superior chromatographic performance. Because the bed is uniform and homogenous, it prevents solvent channeling. Finally, these cartridges are available in sizes from 4 g to 3 kg, giving you consistent adsorbent quality across every scale.

EZ Empty Flash Cartridges

Sorbtech EZ Flash (Empty) Cartridges

On the other hand, Sorbtech EZ Flash Columns provide flexibility for custom applications. For example, the screw-top design makes them easy to fill with your adsorbent of choice. Moreover, the low-cost, replaceable frits allow quick and affordable repacking. Since the polypropylene body resists solvents, these cartridges perform reliably at pressures up to 200 psi. Therefore, EZ Flash Columns are a cost-effective solution for labs that need both control and adaptability.
