The panoramic picture above shows the NEW Quattro CCC™ Mk 5 LabPrep™ in our Contract Feasibility Research, 2D CCC/HPLC Method Development Work-Station ( for Free Feasibility Study options please press button "New For 2005" on Index Page )

From the above picture it can be seen that the NEW Quattro CCC™ Mk 5 LabPrep™ is basically a simple addition to any standard solid / liquid chromatography instrumentation set-up. It makes no difference if you are adding CCC on laboratory or process scale, or to either a high or low pressure chromatography system, you simply treat the CCC as a column. You utilise your standard non-column ancillary components, ie injector ( near CCC ), pump, switching valves, detector, fraction collector, control and data system etc as you would normally 

The only difference between utilising a prep HPLC or Flash column and a CCC is that in CCC the column is a mechanical instrument, with a tube filled with your chosen two immiscible liquids, instead of a tube filled with your selection of solid particles and a liquid.

BUT CCC has the HUGE ADVANTAGE that it cannot be poisoned like an expensive HPLC ( or cheaper Flash ) columns. Plus you can have a new column for each preparation for only the cost of the solvent. In addition, a typical Quattro CCC™ preparation will use much lower flow rates and considerably less solvent than either Prep HPLC or Flash for the same mass injected.

As you can see from above, a Quattro CCC™ Mk 5 LabPrep™ instrument is not much bigger than a standard lab HPLC pump etc, yet is capable of 5 to 20g ( occasionally up to 40 g ) per 1000 ml capacity, but with laboratory scale of flow rates, that are readily available from a simple, standard analytical, 10 ml / min laboratory type HPLC system.

As you know for high resolution, 5 to 40 g loadings, it would require large flow HPLC prep pumps ( 100 to 1000+ mls per min ), an enormous amount more solvent, and expensive prep process scale hplc columns, with expensive axial or radial compression process column hardware system. At this 5 to 40 g loading scale for high resolution prep HPLC prep, usually your equipment requires expensive hardware to intrinsically safe standard, because of the large volume of solvents used. It is a EEC requirement by law to utilise Intrinsically Safe Instrumentation if total organic solvent usage exceeds 5000ml for the process. This is a considerable restriction for Flash and Prep HPLC, but much less so in CCC.

For those not familiar with Prep HPLC column loading capacity, we have included a comparison of "On-Column Loadings" for Baseline Resolution / Simple Heart-Cut / Prep Overload + Typical Flow Rates for a variety of laboratory scale HPLC prep columns ( bore in mm x length in mm ).

COLUMN           LOADINGS                         FLOW-RATES
21 x 50                5mg / 20 mg / 80 mg.              8 to 20 ml / min
21 x 250              25mg / 100 mg / 400 mg.         8 to 20 ml / min
30 x 250              50mg / 200 mg / 800 mg.         12 to 30 ml / min
50 x 250              150mg / 600 mg / 2400 mg.     30 to 100 ml / min


As you can see for pre-packed prep HPLC columns, the largest of which is typically 50 mm id, the "Overload Injection Loading" is only just over 2 grams, and yet you could already be utilising flows of 100 ml / min. Such a prep could probably be achieved with a 100 to 400 ml Quattro CCC™ coil, with flows of only 2 to 10 ml / min, and a very considerably reduction in total solvent usage
 
Scale this up to Process Scale Chromatography, and the cost savings are very considerable, for both ancillary equipment and solvent usage.

With CCC, equivalent prep resolution is available MUCH MORE CHEAPLY, and one CCC can be reverse or normal or ion exchange, or ligand / affinity etc at fraction purchase or running cost, plus you can renew column contents each injection, and easily wash / sterilise between new preparations to meet GMP.

What is a PrepPlus™ ?

A PrepPlus™ is a additional, cased rotor module, that simply bolts to the side of your existing Quattro CCC™ Mk 5 and is controlled and driven by your existing motor and control electronics. This allows low-cost, very cost-effective, modular expansion of the capacity and throughput of all Quattro CCC™ Mk 5's; a feature unique to the Quattro CCC™ Mk 5

For both the QuikPrep™ and LabPrep™, their PrepPlus™ are aluminium constructed, LabPrep™ sized modules, thus the capacity could be increased by up to 1600 ml, to give a total capacity of a LabPrep™ + PrepPlus™ of approximately 3200ml with 16 to 64 g loading capacity.

For the PilotPrep™, this PrepPlus™ is a stainless steel constructed PilotPrep™ sized module, thus the capacity could be increased by up to 3200 ml, to give a total capacity of a PilotPrep™ + PrepPlus™ of approximately 6400ml with 32 to 128 g loading capacity. As the flow rates used in a Quattro CCC™ are a fraction of that used in a process HPLC, the overall cost of 100g capacity CCC is also much less expensive that a 1000ml/min prep HPLC installation capable of 100+g "on-column" loadings, inclusive of pump, hplc column, etc, PLUS YOU HAVE NO ONGOING SOLID HPLC STATIONARY PHASE COSTS, OR CHANCE TO POISON YOUR SOLID STATIONARY PHASE, OR FOR THIS SOLID PHASE TO ADSORB / CHEMICALLY ALTER YOUR TARGET !!!.
