![Optimized Purity And Recovery Of A Monoclonal Antibody Using Mixed-Mode Chromatography Media]( "Optimized Purity And Recovery Of A Monoclonal Antibody Using Mixed-Mode Chromatography Media")
Optimized Purity And Recovery Of A Monoclonal Antibody Using Mixed-Mode Chromatography MediaMonoclonal antibodies (mAbs) remain a predominant class of therapeutic protein products on the market because of their wide range of applications in disease treatment and diagnosis. Over the years, upstream technology advancements have helped improve the titer of target antibodies, from merely 1 g/L two decades ago to 10–13 g/L in fed-batch processes and up to 25 g/L in perfusion cultures today (Gronemeyer et al. 2014).

An Automated Profiling Application For G9a Histone Methyltransferase And Bromodomain Proteins
Due to several findings, G9a and BET bromodomain proteins have become the target for numberous drug discovery projects. In this study, we describe a novel, cell-based assay platform that uses the robust, yet simple Enzyme Fragment Complementation (EFC) Technology.
DOWNSTREAM PROCESSING PRODUCTS
Sartopure PP2 Cartridges were optimized for the wide range of prefiltration.
Resin are designed specifically for intermediate purification steps that remove host-cell contaminants from partially purified targets using strong or weak hydrophobic interactions. Methacrylate-based beads for protein and nucleic acid purification using hydrophobic interactions are available for purifying compounds that have weak or strong hydrophobic regions.
A proven method for confirming protein purity and yield without the need for gel staining steps. Stain-free gels provide visual confirmation of protein purity and yield by gel electrophoresis in less than 30 minutes. Stain-free technology is perfect for drug discovery, drug development, and method development for preclinical research.
Capto L is an affinity chromatography medium for the process-scale capture of a broad range of antibodies and antibody fragments.
