ReGenFix and iLab Solutions Partnership
iLab Solutions have partnered with ReGenFix to offer a more sustainable and environmentally friendly option to regenerate your old columns.
Partnering with ReGenFix, a spinoff from the University of Cagliari, Italy, we can now provide a mechanism for you to recycle and reuse your old columns – saving you money and contributing to your sustainability goals.
The ReGenFix Solution
Instead of replacing your exhausted columns, why not regenerate and fix them? Whether they are stained, cracked or just not performing to peak capacity any more, our ReGenFix solution can help.
The ReGenFix treatment removes all stacked impurities from your column. This procedure is much more than just an “in-place cleaning” of your column(s). The most important feature of ReGenFix is the ability to dissolve the most non-removable impurities that cause overpressure, stacking, and colour changing. ReGenFix also works on residual lipids and, in general, on hydrophobic and hydrophilic impurities from different sources. Where necessary, they will unpack and repack the resin to give you back a calibrated and standardized column that will work perfectly like a brand-new one at a fraction of the price!
After the ReGenFix treatment, your column will perform like a brand-new one. Blocked columns will get back to their normal working pressure, stained columns will get back their original colour, and columns with a compromised chromatography bed will get back their chromatographic resolution.
Not only is the ReGenFix solution a more environmentally friendly and sustainable option, but it also means you can:
- Reuse expensive column hardware
- Ensure the accuracy of your results
- Minimize downtime
- Extend the life of your columns
- Provide traceability
How It Works
We’ll take care of the whole process so you don’t have to – saving you time, money and hassle!
Pricing
Contact us with the type, size and number of columns you want fixing. We’ll provide you with a free no obligation quote.
Collection
One of our engineers will collect your column(s) directly from your lab*. No need to package them – we’ll take care of that!
ReGenFix
We’ll send off your columns to our partners, ReGenFix, where they’ll be refreshed, repacked and recalibrated ready for use.
Return
We’ll return your column(s) with a full calibration report and instructions for use. You carry on with your research seamlessly!
Column Types
We can offer a wide range of regeneration services depending on the type of your chromatography columns. We cover all types of FPLC columns, in particular the expensive Size Exclusion chromatography pre-packed columns for GE AKTA systems (e.g., Superose 6, Superose 12. Superdex 75, Superdex 200, Sephacryl of every volume).
ReGenFix in Action
The video shows a QHP column with a resin stained by carotenoids. The column was used for protein purification from a raw fruit extract. ReGenFix is a necessary step to regenerate the resin prior to the next use.
Columns can be regenerated with ReGenFix about 3-4 times or more depending on the condition under which the column was used.
All columns are returned back to the customer with a calibration report showing performance after regeneration.
