Bio-Rad Laboratories has expanded its Foresight™ Pro chromatography column portfolio with a new 45 cm inner diameter (ID) option. Designed to meet the needs of downstream process-scale chromatography applications, these GMP-ready columns offer biopharma manufacturers a seamless solution for purifying biomolecules such as vaccines, antibodies, and recombinant proteins.

Key features of the Foresight™ Pro 45 cm ID column

• Wide Diameter Range: Complements existing options (5–33 cm ID) with a new 45 cm ID for large-scale processes.
• GMP-Ready Design: Manufactured and packed in an ISO Class 7 cleanroom.
• Advanced Media Compatibility: Packed with Bio-Rad’s CHT™ Ceramic Hydroxyapatite Media (Type I, II, or XT) for efficient biomolecule purification.
• Single-Lot Packing: Ensures consistency and superior performance compared to multi-batch alternatives.

These standardized, large-diameter columns are a game-changer for biopharma manufacturers looking for reliability and performance in downstream purification workflows.
