When to Choose Agarose or Methacrylic Polymer Resins– Frequently Asked Questions
In an effort to clarify resin choices and highlight two popular options, we talked to Dr. Alessandra Basso, Business Development Manager for the Lifetech™ and Chromalite® product ranges and Hans J. Johansson, Global Applications Director both at Purolite Life Sciences about the most frequently asked questions for resin selection between agarose and methacrylic and what each is best suited for....Continued
Combining Ion Exchange and Reverse Phase Chromatography for Highly Efficient and Cost Effective Peptide Purification
The combination of using a low pressure ion exchange step (50-100 micron) with standard reverse phase (12-18 micron) polishing was demonstrated using Chromalite® PCG1200FS and Chromalite® 15AD2. This resulted in a peptide purification process that was more cost-effective than the traditional two-step reverse phase process. The is because the low pressure ion exchange step is much more cost effective than the reverse phase step. This novel process permitted bivalirudin purification from a semi-crude feed of 80% purity to greater than 99% purity with greater than 90% recovery....Continued
Strategies for Increasing Productivity and Reducing Cost of Chromatography in mAb Biomanufacturing
Technologies like the Praesto® Jetted A50 resin and novel approaches for the chromatography step provide the flexibility needed to meet the increasing demands placed on downstream processing. These novel approaches have been shown to provide increased productivity, decreased buffer consumption and lower cost for consumables. These strategies and others will be needed to meet the evolving demands for mAb manufacturing and enable more efficient use of both existing and future downstream facilities....Continued
Supplier Qualification and Material Selection – A Case Study of Biopharmaceutical Resin Manufacture
A one-time evaluation is not sufficient in that any changes that a supplier might make in their source, their production process, or a myriad of other items could impact the raw material quality and thus would impact drug manufacturing and ultimately could impact drug availability to patients. Thus, raw materials require continuous monitoring using a drug life cycle approach....Continued
