A Platform for Purifying Pharmaceutical-Grade Plasmid DNA Using CIM® Monolithic Columns

Figure 1. CIM Convective interaction Media® are monolithic chromatographic supports used for purification of plasmid DNA, viruses, and other large biomolecules on a laboratory and industrial scale. CIM® monoliths are characterized by large flow-through channels (average diameter of 1,500 nm), which enhance the mass transfer between the mobile and stationary phase. This results in a high and flow-independent dynamic binding capacity and resolution. For plasmid DNA purification on an industrial level, these characteristics increase productivity, making CIM® monolithic columns attractive…
