Purification of Influenza Virus By Ion-Exchange Chromatography on Mustang® QXT Membranes

Membrane chromatography is an effective alternative to conventional beaded sorbents for the purification of large virus molecules or viral-like particles. Membranes have an open pore structure that allows fast kinetics and direct access to ion-exchange binding sites, with flow rates that are orders of magnitude faster than conventional columns. They provide much higher binding capacities than beaded sorbents for large molecules limited by mass transfer. Pall Mustang ion-exchange membranes are scalable membrane chromatography devices used in various therapeutic, vaccine, and…
