Hi Ed, I guess by 24mL SD200 Peter meant the Superdex 200 10/300 column, which most of us should be quite familiar with. According to GE healthcare, a new Superdex 200 10/300 GL column should have TP 25000/m. For comparison, a new Superdex200 16/600 PG, which uses bigger beads, has TP

Hi Peter, I won't claim to be an expert, however, there is a small textbook by Robert K. Scopes called Protein Purification: Principles and Practice, that has very good practical and theoretical information about column chromatography (among other methods). I have found this book useful a

Thanks- guess I'm old-fashioned, using low-pressure columns. So apparently theoretical plates are still calculated, and have improved a lot- 25000/m is HETP .04 mm, way better than the figure I mentioned. (TP per dollar not so much.) No more sour grapes from me- eab Zhijie Li wrote: Hi Ed, I
