Characteristics
Foresight ™ RoboColumn units are ready-to-use chromatography
microcolumns prepacked with Bio-Rad Laboratories process
chromatography resins. Each row contains eight columns
and either a single row or multiple rows may be used. For HT
screening, configuration into 96-well plate format is possible with
the use of an array plate.
Foresight RoboColumn units are available in two volumes:
200 and 600 µl.
Table 1. Characteristics of Foresight RoboColumn units.
Plate size 128.3 x 86.0 x 14.0 mm
