During the production of monoclonal antibodies, the Protein A capture step is the first important purification step. A fast capture step is critical to retaining product integrity and processing of large feed volumes in reasonable times. Novel periodic counter-current (PCC) processes are superior to batch processes, offering a significant economic benefit.
YMC/ChromaCon’s optimized two-column periodic countercurrent chromatography process (CaptureSMB) is the least complex and most effective process, allowing two to threefold faster processing. It saves up to 60% of expensive Protein A resin and buffer. Lab (Contichrom CUBE instrument) and GMP scale production systems (Contichrom TWIN LPLC) employing CaptureSMB are commercially available.
Maximizing the efficiency of affinity capture steps
View: Presentation
CaptureSMB is a twin-column periodic countercurrent (PCC) process used for the continuous purification of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and antibody fragments using affinity resins such as Protein A and Protein L.
