Table 1:&#8 Sartobind® STIC Pico and Sartobind® STIC Nano are the smallest scalable representatives of the Sartobind® STIC membrane adsorber family. STIC is a salt-tolerant anion-exchange membrane effective at removing contaminants in buffers containing up to 200 mM NaCl, saving time and reducing costs by avoiding buffer changes. The small size and high throughput of these capsules make them perfect for use on automated chromatography systems such as the popular ÄKTA® series offered by GE Biosciences. Although both Pico and…

TOYOPEARL GigaCap Q-650S high capacity, high resolution anion-exchange resin for process scale applications was recently introduced by Tosoh Corporation. This resin, with dynamic binding capacities (DBCs) approaching 190 g/L for bovine serum albumin (BSA), is the newest member of the TOYOPEARL® product line. TOYOPEARL GigaCap Q-650S maintains the high capacity of our popular TOYOPEARL GigaCap Q-650M, and the 35 µm particle size provides high resolution for improved separation of process impurities and aggregates. Introduction The purification of oligonucleotides using anion…

The importance of proper aggregate removal during polishing of a monoclonal antibody (MAb) for therapeutic use is beyond controversy. Severe anaphylactic reactions have been described in the literature for the application of aggregated proteins as a drug byproduct. Traditionally, ion-exchange chromatography (IEX) or hydrophobic-interaction chromatography (HIC) are used to purify a structurally homogeneous product. In case those platforms do not satisfy the requirements for MAb polishing, advanced chromatography resins need to be considered. For instance, mixed-mode stationary phases such as…

Cell therapy is offering a promising future in medical advances. Although multilayer trays are suitable for R&D and preclinical cell amplification, they cannot support large-scale industrial production. A successful transition from laboratory scale to an efficient and robust process based on good manufacturing practice (GMP) is key. The Integrity® Xpansion™ multiplate bioreactors have been specifically designed to enable an easy transfer from existing multiple-tray stacks processes by offering the same cell growth environment on two-dimensional (2D) hydrophylized polystyrene (PS) plates…
