Method for forming a gel bed in a column for liquid chromatography and an axially adjustable-type column device used for this method

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method to form a gel bed in a cylindrical column for liquid chromatography, comprising providing, a gel bed section between upper and lower liquid-tight partition members, positioned apart from each other at upper and lower positions in the column continuously, percolating liquid downward through the gel bed section to form a gel bed in the gel bed section and applying a liquid pressure onto the upper partition to move the partition member downward following a downward movement of the upper surface of the gel bed and a device therefor.
