Increasing demands for the production of biopharmaceuticals, such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), vaccines and recombinant proteins, require new, innovative purification approaches with higher efficiency and productivity while maintaining or reducing costs. One of these approaches is continuous capture chromatography. Continuous capture chromatography, also known as CaptureSMB was developed by ChromaCon AG. CaptureSMB is a 2-column periodic counter current chromatography (2-PCC) process where the first column is fully loaded and breaks through to the second column. The first column is eluted…
