YMC-BioPro SP-F

1.  Ribonuclease Å (0.1 mg/mL)
2.  Cytochrome c (0.1 mg/mL)
3.  Lysozyme (0.1 mg/mL)

Eluent : A) 20mM KH2PO4K2HPO4 (pH 6.8)
B) 20mM KH2PO4K2HPO4 (pH 6.8)
containing 0.5M NaCl
Gradient : YMC-BioPro SP-F   0-100 %B (0-4 min)
Brand T   0-100 %B (0-4.67 min)
Flow rate : 1.5 mL/min
Temperature : 25 °C
Detection : UV at 220 nm
Injection : 20 µL

 

Brand T (SP non-porous type)
YMC-BioPro SP-F can separate the proteins sharply without peak-tailing observed on Brand T. Furthermore, despite larger particle size, the theoretical plate number of YMC-BioPro is higher than that of Brand T.

Binding capacity and Recovery

Comparison of dynamic binding capacity (DBC) and recovery

  Dynamic binding capacity

(mg/mL-gel)
Recovery*
(%)
YMC-BioPro QA (5 µm, 50 x 4.6 mml.D.) 125 120 95
Brand G (10 µm, 50 x 5.0 mml.D.) 100 35 35
Brand T (10 µm, 50 x 4.6 mml.D.) 73 58 79

* Recovery: (Eluted amount / Dynamic binding capacity) x 100

Compared with convential porous-polymer anion-exchange column, YMC-BioPro QA scores the superior DBC and recovery rate. Thus YMC-BioPro shows the least nonspecific absorption in conventional columns.

Loadability

Comparison of the effect of sample load on YMC-BioPro QA and commercial Q type product

YMC-BioPro QA

Brand G (Q porous type)

Eluent : A) 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.1)
B) 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.1) containing 0.5M NaCl 10-90%B (0-30 min)
Flow rate : 0.5 mL/min
Temperature : 25 °C
Detection : UV at 280 nm
Injection : 100 µL
YMC-BioPro QA shows the excellent peak shapes even when the loading amount increases. By contrast, the column of Brand G cannot separate well even in small amounts of injection.
