Batch Chromatography

Batch Chromatography Traditionally, capture chromatography is run in single column, discontinous mode which is characterized in that the column is consecutively (i) equilibrated, (ii) loaded with feed containing the target…

conditions and modes

See also antibody purification Definitions Ion-exchange chromatography: retention is based on the attraction between solute ions and charged sites bound to the stationary phase.  High-perfromance liquid chromatography (HPLC): is a…

monoliths

Monolithic stationary pahses consist of a porous polymer block. To create the polymer, monomer and cross linker molecules as well as molecules beraing the interactive groups (e.g., an ionomer in…

Definitions

Amphiphilic: contain both hydrophobic groups ("tails") and hydrophilic groups ("heads"). Surfactants (detergents) are typically organic compounds that are amphiphilic which render surfactants soluble in both organic solvents and water.  Aqueous solution: refers to a…

charge variants

MAbs undergo several posttranslational modifications such as disulfide bond formation, oxidation, deamidation, truncation and cyclization of N terminal glutamine residues to pyroglutamate. The heterogeneity observed in mAbs is often moniteored…

aggregates

Protein aggregation is a common phenomenon that can be encountered during various stages of a commercial antibody manufacturing process. For example, aggregates can form during the fermentation, purification, final formulation…
