Definition
material artifact that is a tube or a cylinder designed to house chromatography medium as the stationary phase during one or more chromatography processes
Explanatory Notes
Columns vary in size and material depending on the application, such as analytical or preparative chromatography, and are selected based on factors like pressure tolerance, chemical compatibility, and flow dynamics.
Examples
- Analytical stainless steel chromatography column; preparative glass chromatography column; high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) column with silica resin; ion-exchange chromatography column with polymer resin; size-exclusion chromatography column with agarose-based resin;

Primitive Class
This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.
Primitive Rationale
There are currently insufficient constructs to adequately model the shape of a tube or a cylinder
