Biochromatography: small molecules small problems, large molecules large problems

The lecture systematically presented chromatography of biopharmaceuticals. We compared the challenges and limitations of the chromatography of small and large biological molecules (proteins, viruses, DNA). The lecture is part of a wider programme, where the importance and usefulness of biochromatography is advertised.

CIMac- [alpha]HSA monoliths increase throughput and sensitivity of proteomic studies of IVF media by rapid albumin depletion

Various techniques have been applied for human serum albumin depletion, such as ultrafiltration, size-exclusion chromatography and affinity-based removal by immobilized antibodies. Despite their high specificity, affinity methods usually suffer from long processing times due to low flow rates supported by chromatographic resins. Here we describe an affinity-based method for improving sensitivity of biomarker detection by using an albumin-specific antibody immobilized onto CIM monolith support. Due to their unique chromatographic properties, the use of monolithic columns enables very fast depletion (approx. 2 minutes per depletion cycle) and column reconditioning, thus significantly increasing sample preparation throughput.

Chromatographic monoliths: overcoming the limitations of large scale polymerization

At the conference, we presented results clearly showing that the homogeneity of the polymerized chromatographic monoliths on all size scales from 1 mL to 40 L column. This is unprecedented socio-economically very important due to the recognition of robustness and and reliability of monolithic technology. This facilitates decisions on the use of this technology for the biopharmaceutical industry.
