When we purchased the pump, it was below $300 (a year ago). Replacement took ~4
hours, but you must like doing it. You'll have to disassemble almost entire
pump module, so make pictures of each step and mark tubings ends with labels.

Hi,
Yes, it can be done by yourself. I repacked our 26/60 column a few years ago

Basically the loading apparatus was a tubing connecting the top of the

Hi Peter,
Most of the time it is just a clogged top filter. While the column is
running, loosen the top o-ring by loosening the black knob on the top.
Once that is done, carefully unscrew the white threaded adapter several
turns to back the top filter off the resin bed. You can then unscrew the

Lithium sulfate is a cryoprotectant at 2.0 M and sometimes even less (much

along the lines of Ian Tickle's reply: there should be a script

Hi Fulvio
Your scripts are for csh (or tcsh) so won't work under bash. Have you
checked whether there are versions for sh (or bash) already set up?
If not you will have to run them under csh, or better still tcsh.
