Monoclonal Antibody Purification Platform Using High-Capacity Protein A And Mixed-Mode Chromatography
The first step in purification of an important class of therapeutic proteins, the polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), is their capture from plasma or tissue culture supernatants. Protein A–based media are by far the most common class of affinity products used for this purpose.

Efficiency Test Of ReadyToProcess™ Columns
ReadyToProcess™ columns are prepacked, prequalified, and presanitized process chromatography columns suited for purification of biopharmaceuticals (e.g., proteins, vaccines, plasmids, and viruses) for clinical phase I and II studies. ReadyToProcess columns are available with several media at different volumes (1, 2.5, 10, and 20 L).
