Operation of Aurora Series columns - column equilibration

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:
  1. Aurora Frontier, 60cm X 75μm: 2.65μl
  2. Aurora Ultimate, 25cm X 75μm: 1.1μl
  3. Aurora Elite, 15cm X 75μm: 0.66μl
  4. Aurora Rapid150, 5cm X 150μm: 0.88μl
  5. Aurora Rapid75, 5cm X 75um: 0.22μl
