Abstract
Abstract An assemblage of hydroxyl apatite particles having small and uniform particle size. The median of the particle size is 1 to 10 μm, and at least 90% of the particles in the assemblage have a particle size of not more than 25 μm. The assemblage can be used to pack a liquid chromatography column.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
A liquid chromatography column comprising: a hollow tube, a packing contained in said tube, wherein said packing comprises an assemblage of hydroxyl apatite particles of substantially spherical shape, wherein the median of the particle size of said particles is from 1 to 10 μm, and at least 90% of said particles in said assemblage have a particle size of not more than 25 μm, and a first filter mounted on a lower portion of said tube, said first filter having a pore size smaller than said hydroxyl apatite particles of said packing, wherein the packing density of said packing is at least 40%.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
