Abstract:
Proteins, including monoclonal antibodies, that have been retained on hydroxyapatite resins for purposes of protein separation, purification, or both, are eluted from the resins by a elution buffer that contains controlled amounts of calcium and phosphate ions. The buffer allows elution to be performed in repeated runs at an acidic pH without deterioration of the resin.

Abstract:
A chromatography cartridge with a packed bed is manufactured from an inner and outer chamber (11), the inner chamber being in an insert (12) that is slidable into the outer chamber (11) with openings in each such that a slurry that is originally placed in the interior of the outer chamber (11) as the parts are being pressed into each other. During the assembly, the particles in the slurry are compressed to fill the smaller volume of the inner chamber and excess liquid is discharged through ports in both chambers. The construction allows for a highly precise and reproducible column filling process with a minimum of steps and operator intervention and thereby low cost and reduced error.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses methods of neutralizing apatite surfaces, for example during chromatography and before protein elution. Specifically, provided are methods for purifying a target molecule in a sample, comprising contacting a sample comprising the target molecule to an apatite solid surface, contacting the solid surface comprising the adsorbed target molecule with a solution comprising a basic amino compound and alkali metal ion or alkali earth ion; or a sulphonated amine compound and alkali metal ion or alkali earth ion, and eluting the target molecule from the solid support by contacting the solid support with a different solution.
Abstract:
A chromatographic method and apparatus for purifying proteins generally, and monoclonal antibodies from ascites fluids specifically, is disclosed. The method comprises contacting a solution containing proteins to be purified with a porous, substantially nonswellable sheet which has hydrated crystalline hydroxylapatite particles physically immobilized therein, in the presence of a pH buffer, and then eluting purified protein fractions, such that the flow rate and back pressure do not change significantly throughout the method. One preferred apparatus comprises inlet and outlet seals (10, 15), spiral- wound or core-wrapped chromatographic separation medium (60) comprising hydrated crystalline hydroxylapatite particles physically immobilized in a porous, substantially nonswellable sheet, and a Porous central support (40) upon which the sheet is wrapped. Another apparatus comprises single or stacked chromatographic separation medium comprising hydrated crystalline hydroxylapatite particles physically immobilized in a porous, substantially nonswellable sheet.
