• Extended column lifetime
• Reproducibility: column-to-column
• Higher efficiency
• Improved peak shape
• Increased loadability
• Stability under high flow rates
Hydraulic Piston Compression
An advanced column packing and hardware design, Axia™ incorporates patent-pending Hydraulic Piston Compression technology to eliminate bed collapse as a source of failure in short preparative columns. Ideal bed density is custom calculated and automated for each support, chemistry, and column size. Computer control of the entire process assures
both proper bed density and uniformity. Using a single, controlled hydraulic compression, the piston assembly is locked in place without allowing the media to decompress or “relax,” thus maintaining media and column bed integrity. Recompression of the bed is not required, as it is for other packing methodologies.
Waters® OBD™ MediaSEM* of Waters® OBD™ inlet frit shows crushed media particles or fines at frit surface after packing.
Phenomenex® Axia™ Packed MediaSEM* of Axia™ inlet frit shows media largely intact at frit surface after packing.
The result is an improved, repeatable packing process, giving preparative chromatographers:
Axia Packing Process

*The images are believed to be representative, but individual columns may vary.
Packing Piston
Media packed under ideal pressure
The packing piston head is integrated into the column and locked by the piston
retainers, so the pressure is never released.
Media is never allowed to relax, eliminating
voids and dramatically improving reproducibility,
column to column.

In conventional slurry packing of short preparative columns, the packing process has several fundamental limitations including variability of media density leading to inconsistent column-to-column efficiency and peak asymmetry. With the new Axia™ – hydraulic piston compression technology – the correct slurry amount and packing pressure are automated to give not only higher efficiency and sharper peaks, but also drastically reduced column-to-column variability.
Under aggressive high-throughput conditions—gradient mobile phases, fast flow rates and 100% DMSO injections— Axia columns have shown over 1300 injections without signs of degradation or voiding!

Use Axia Packed columns to increase the throughput of your purifications. Conventional slurry packed columns tend to void or leak when drastically increasing the stress on the column. The Hydraulic Piston Compression
technology has shown the high density packed media withstands excessively high flow rates with virtually no sign of degradation after 520 cycles at 2x the normal operating conditions.

In Reversed Phase chromatography, compounds retain better when neutral. With the advent of pH stable (1-12) medias such as Gemini C18 and C6-Phenyl, improving retention and resolution of your basic compounds at high
pH is now possible without compromising column lifetime. Under these conditions you can easily double or triple the loading compared to your current low pH purifications.
