Multi Column Chromatography

Octave PRO MCC Skid

The OctaveTM PRO is a GMP-ready multi-column chromatography (MCC) system for the purification of biopharmaceuticals at the clinical and commercial scale. The Octave PRO is designed for direct scale-up after process development on the Octave BIO, and both systems offer the same method-execution capabilities. The Octave PRO enables ultimate process versatility and agility to address the most challenging downstream bottlenecks.

  • GMP-ready skid using reliable, patented Octave technology
  • Specifically designed for typical clinical and commercial scale purification processes of 2000 L bioreactors within 1-2 shift times
  • Flow rates ranging from 0.1 L/min to 2.5 L/min
  • Up to eight columns
  • Six pumps, six inlets, six outlets
  • Single use flow path
  • Integrated UV, conductivity, and pH sensors (4 of each)
  • Complete data recording and analysis
  • Includes PROComposer™ Method Creator and Method Wizard applications
  • 21 CFR Part 11 compliant PROController™ control system
  • Dedicated SkillPak PRO pre-packed columns for MCC applications are available
