Event Overview
 
Downstream process chromatography scientists are constantly searching for more selective and improved ways to remove aggregates and other process-related impurities from a monoclonal antibody (mAb). Among numerous available separation modes, mixed-mode chromatography is a unique and powerful tool for purifying mAbs.
 
Hydroxyapatite is a mixed-mode chromatography media that has proven to be useful as a purification medium for biomolecules such as monoclonal antibodies and their aggregates. The highly selective and robust nature of hydroxyapatite can effectively remove dimer and higher order aggregates from a purified mAb sample. Hydroxyapatite has unique separation properties for biomolecules and under optimum conditions offers unparalleled selectivity and resolution for process scale operations.
 
This presentation reviews the purification of a monoclonal antibody and the removal of its aggregates, showcasing a newly developed method using potassium salts.
 
Key Learning Objectives
Discover a new method for operating hydroxyapatite media for the removal of mAb aggregates to as low as ~1%
Understand how hydroxyapatite chromatography can provide an effective means of removal of mAb aggregates without jeopardizing the yield or purity of the mAb
Learn how to select the appropriate conditions to make the most effective use of hydroxyapatite chromatography in mAb and aggregate separations
 
Who Should Attend
 
Chromatographers, method developers, and process engineers who are involved with the development of downstream purification processes that include steps for aggregate removal
