Abstract
A chromatography cartridge and method of manufacturing same. A chromatography cartridge of the present invention can include a tubular housing having an open end and an inner surface, and a plug. The plug can be positioned within the open end of the tubular housing and can have an outer circumferential surface, a substantial portion of the outer circumferential surface being fused to the inner surface of the tubular housing. A method for manufacturing a chromatography cartridge can include coupling at least a portion of the outer surface of the plug to at least a portion of the inner surface of the tubular housing in response to rotating at least one of the plug and the tubular housing about the longitudinal axis with respect to the other of the plug and the tubular housing.

30. A method of manufacturing a chromatography cartridge, the method comprising:
-
providing a tubular housing having an inlet, an outlet, a longitudinal axis, an open end and an inner surface;
providing a plug dimensioned to be received within the open end of the tubular housing and having an outer surface;
positioning a first porous member within the tubular housing adjacent the outlet;
filling the tubular housing with at least one chromatography medium;
positioning a second porous member within the tubular housing adjacent the inlet such that the at least one chromatography medium is disposed between the first porous member and the second porous member; and
coupling at least a portion of the outer surface of the plug to at least a portion of the inner surface of the tubular housing in response to rotating at least one of the plug and the tubular housing about the longitudinal axis with respect to the other of the plug and the tubular housing. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
