The Columnmaster 4000 is a piece of laboratory equipment designed for use in automating column purification (a type of protein purification). Based on easy-to-understand physical concepts, the simple design of this instrument and the ready availability of its components in most laboratory settings makes the Columnmaster 4000 a popular choice for accurately delivering a series of washes to the column. Its use, however, is plagued by mishap and error hampering the original purpose to which it was created. The result is for many to refer to the column as a "retarded monstrosity."
