such as proteins, peptides and oligonucleotides in GMP-regulated environments.
Use of the Media Wand and Media Handling Unit facilitates the preparation of chroma-
tography resin solutions and the transfer of chromatography resin solutions to the
column or slurry tank. Media Wand can also be used together with Chromaflow™
Packing Station 100, see Section 5.6 Use of Media Wand with Chromaflow Packing
Station 100, on page 47.
The products are specifically developed for the simplification of the following proce-
dures:
•removal of transport solutions from resin containers.
•addition of buffer and preparation of resin slurry in a resin container.
•transfer of resin slurry to a process column or slurry tank.
The Media Handling Unit is not approved for use in a potentially explosive environment
or for other purposes than those described in this manual.
The Media Wand and Media Handling Unit are intended for production use only and
must not be used for diagnostic purposes in any clinical or in vitro procedures.

General precautions
WARNING
Risk assessment. Perform a risk assessment for the process or
process environment. Evaluate the effects the use of the product
and the operational processes may have on the classification of the
hazardous area. The process can cause the hazardous area to
increase or the zone classification to change. Implement the risk
reduction measures needed, including use of personal protective
equipment.
WARNING
Only properly trained personnel are allowed to operate and main-
tain the product.
WARNING
Pressure may remain in the column and tubing for an extended
period after shutdown. Make sure the system is depressurized
before opening or disconnecting.
WARNING
Reduce the pump setting prior to using the RESET button, to avoid
an immediate high pressure increase in the system when it is reac-
tivated. A sudden pressure increase may cause rupture of piping
connections and consequent leakage.
Personal protection
WARNING
Always use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
during operation and maintenance of this product.

Pump
The pump is designed to be able to be run dry. The pump can be stopped either by
setting the pump switch to OFF or by setting the valve controls to 0. The pressure from
the system automatically stops the pump. This does not damage the pump.
Only use dry, clean, oil-free compressed air with a minimum pressure of 5 bar g (max
7 bar g).
The capacity curve of the built-in pump is shown below.

Example: External pressure (air pressure) is 4 bar g.
To obtain a pump flow of 40 L/min, the pump pressure is set to 3 bar g, which results in
an air consumption of 0.3 m3/min.
