History
The Columnmaster 4000 was first conceived as a crude assemblage of glassware during a summer research period at the College of Wooster. It was assembled from everyday glassware in an attempt to ease the notoriously tedious task of regenerating chitin columns for re-use. Due to the crude nature of the instrument, however, perfecting the design was difficult, as slight miscalculations of water level could lead to the loss of valuable column material. However, when more precise glassware was used, results improved significantly, and it was soon accepted by researchers working on multiple projects involving the use of chitin columns.
