Operation of Aurora Series columns - column equilibration
Before each run the column should be reequilibrated using a minimum of 4 column volumes of 100% buffer A. Column equilibration should be performed below 1000 bar.
Column volumes:
- 25cm X 75μm: 1.1μl
- 15cm X 75μm: 0.66μl
- 5cm X 150μm: 0.88μl
