Abstract:
Solid supports and ligands are provided for purification of biomolecules by mixed-mode anion exchange-hydrophobic chromatography. Compositions can have the formula Support-(X)—N(R1, R2)—R3-L-Ar, or a salt thereof, wherein: Support is a chromatographic solid support; X is a spacer or absent; R1 and R2 are each selected from hydrogen and an alkyl comprising 1-6 carbons; R3 is an alkyl comprising 1-6 carbons or a cyclo alkyl comprising 1-6 carbons; L is NR4, O, or S; wherein R4 is hydrogen or an alkyl comprising 1-6 carbons; and Ar is an aryl. Methods are also provided for using solid supports and ligands to purify biomolecules such as monomeric antibodies.
Abstract:
Methods for performing dry chemistry, lateral flow-reconstituted chromatographic enzyme-driven assays are described. A combination of components necessary to elicit a specific enzyme reaction are predeposited as substrate in dry form together with ingredients necessary to produce a desired color upon occurrence of the desired reaction. The strip is equipped with a sample pad placed ahead of the substrate deposit in the flowstream, to which liquid sample is applied. The sample flows from the sample pad into the substrate zone where it immediately reconstitutes the dried ingredients while also intimately mixing with them and reacting with them at the fluid front. The fluid front moves rapidly into the final “read zone” wherein the color developed is read against predetermined color standards for the desired reaction. The assay in the format of the invention is faster and easier to perform than analogous wet chemistry assays.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the separation of enantiomers or resolution of racemic mixtures using high surface area core-shell polymer beads. The present invention further relates to a core-shell functionalized polymer comprising a core which comprises copolymer made from monomers selected from non-aromatic acrylate, ethylene dimethacrylate and divinyl-benzene, a shell which comprises monomers selected from glycidyl ethers of methacrylate and a chiral selector selected from tartaric acid derivatives and amino acids.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a thin-layer chromatography plate at least consisting of a support and a sorbent layer, where the sorbent layer comprises at least one siloxane oligomer, to a process for the production thereof, and to a method for carrying out a thin-layer chromatographic separation using said thin-layer chromatography plate.
Abstract:
Provided is a separating agent comprising a carrier and a ligand fixed on a surface of a carrier by chemical bonding, in which the carrier is a core-shell particle formed of a non-porous core and a porous shell, the shell having a pore diameter of 9 nm or more and formed of a hydrolysate of polyalkoxysiloxane, and the ligand is an optically active polymer, optically inactive polyester, protein, nucleic acid, or optically active organic compound with a molecular weight of 50 to 1000.
Abstract:
The present invention provides, in part, a chromatographic restricted access media comprising aminopropyl groups derivatized with polysuccinamide that is derivatized with 1-ethylpropylamine and denatured human serum albumin. Methods of purifying polypeptides and complexes thereof are also provided.
Abstract:
Described is an affinity microcolumn comprising a high surface area material, which has high flow properties and a low dead volume, contained within a housing and having affinity reagents bound to the surface of the high surface area material that are either activated or activatable. The affinity reagents bound to the surface of the affinity microcolumn further comprise affinity receptors for the integration into high throughput analysis of biomolecules.
Abstract:
An assembly of a cartridge and a cartridge clamp is disclosed. The cartridge has a cartridge body bounding a passage extending from a first end face to a second end face of the cartridge body. The cartridge clamp has a first and second clamping jaw comprising a first and second clamping face, respectively. A first and a second conduit are connected to the first and second clamping jaw, respectively. Said cartridge clamp is adapted for clamping said cartridge in-between the first and the second clamping face and for forming a closed circuit composed of the first conduit, the passage and the second conduit during clamping. Each clamping face has a ring-shaped protrusion extending around the end aperture of the respective conduit. The cartridge body is completely made of PEEK and each ring-shaped protrusion has a contact end face.
Abstract:
Provided herein are methods of reducing bioburden of (e.g., sterilizing) a chromatography resin that include exposing a container including a composition including a chromatography resin and at least one antioxidant agent and/or chelator to a dose of gamma-irradiation sufficient to reduce the bioburden of the container and the chromatography resin, where the at least one antioxidant agent and/or chelator are present in an amount sufficient to ameliorate the loss of binding capacity of the chromatography resin after/upon exposure to the dose of gamma-irradiation. Also provided are reduced bioburden chromatography columns including the reduced bioburden chromatography resin, compositions including a chromatography resin and at least one chelator and/or antioxidant agent, methods of performing reduced bioburden column chromatography using one of these reduced bioburden chromatography columns, and integrated, closed, and continuous processes for reduced bioburden manufacturing of a purified recombinant protein.
