Claim:
1. A method for packing an axial flow chromatography column with a bed of particulate medium of a target bed height, the method comprising: i. providing a chromatography column comprising: ii. controllably adjusting by the external drive having a mobile platform attached to the first end unit, a position of one of the first end unit and the first filter to a specific position such that the axial spacing between the first filter and the second filter is adjusted to a distance greater than that of the target bed height wherein the first end unit is spaced a predetermined distance above the side wall; iii. introducing a suspension of the particulate medium into the bed space via the first valve to provide a compressed bed of particulate medium therein; and iv. compressing said bed of particulate medium to produce the target bed height by performing axial movement of the first end unit and the first filter to decrease the distance to the target bed height until the first end unit rests on the side wall;
