Automation of Methods Development and Routine Operation
for Characterization of Proteins with Multiple Modes of Chromatography

Complete characterization of proteins requires multiple chromatographic modes that detect different chemical and physical characteristics of the molecules. Such separations are most conveniently optimized by adjustments in pH and ionic strength of the mobile phase. We have developed an automated, systematic approach to screen those parameters for a wide range column of chemistries. The protocol revolves around the use of Auto-Blend Plus™ Technology that permits programming the chromatographic method directly in units of pH and salt concentration. By combining the control interface with column and buffer selection valves, sample separation options including anion exchange, cation exchange, and size exclusion at any desired pH and salt concentration can be tested. The same approach can be adapted for routine analysis of a particular sample in multiple modes. We will illustrate these approaches for a variety of protein mixtures, including monoclonal antibodies.

Wide Pore Core-Shell Columns for Improving Protein and Peptide Separations

Phenomenex introduces Aeris, the latest innovation in chromatography of Proteins and Peptides. Aeris incorporates award winning core-shell technology to deliver improved performance for protein and peptide separation. The unique 3.6u widepore core-shell particle delivers UHPLC separation of proteins at column backpressures a fraction of sub-2µm columns and is offered in three unique selectivites: XBC18, XB-C8 and C4. An Aeris Peptide XB-C18 column is also introduced to complement the Aeris wide pore offerings. Aeris Peptide is a narrow pore UHPLC column specifically designed for improved separation of peptides and peptide maps. Aeris peptide features 3.6 µm or 1.7µm particle columns based on the HPLC or UHPLC system being used for peptide separations. The Aeris core-shell product line represents next generation solution for bioseparations.
