SMBC system: Semba Octave™
Simulated Moving Bed Chromatography
The first commercial, laboratory-scale SMBC system.
This instrument is characterised by extreme flexibility, high recovery rates and purity, as well as a high level of productivity.
The system, which operates on the counter current principle, is compatible with chemical and biological samples.
For sample amounts from milligrams to grams.

Performance characteristics
Performance characteristics
- binary separation of the sample
- very good separation even at low plate numbers
- optimum utilisation of the column resin capacity
- low solvent requirement
- pneumatic valve system with extremely low dead volume
- pre-programmed control scripts
- metal-free, therefore biocompatible
- allows the performance of many processes
