CIMmic™ Monolithic Columns combine the advantages of the CIM® stationary phase with a flexible design and the possibility to operate with syringe. Discs containing the stationary phase can be easily interchanged inside the custom designed housing. Pre-activated chemistries enable immobilisation of numerous ligands and can be used for preparation of affinity chromatographic columns or enzyme reactors. Their small bed volume is particularly suitable for screening purposes and to optimise immobilisation protocols due to economic usage of often expensive ligands.

Carboxyimidazole (CDI) monolithic chromatographic columns are used for covalent immobilisation of proteins, peptides and other amine or thiol containing molecules. The covalent nature of the carbamate bond between the ligand and matrix reduces leaching and improves stability and reusability.

An example described below shows the feasibility of CIMmic™ CDI-0.1 utilisation for covalent immobilisation of recombinant protein A (r-pA). Additionally the example was used for the evaluation of the reproducibility of CIMmic™ CDI columns. The dynamic binding capacity for human polyclonal immunoglobulin (IgG) was used as metric for comparison of the affinity columns.

CIM® chromatographic monoliths enable high 1) productivity of pDNA downstream process (DSP) due to high dynamic binding capacity for pDNA in small elution volumes and short chromatographic runs; 2) high resolution power due to convective-based mass transfer.

Sample displacement mode utilizes different relative binding affinities of components in a sample mixture and separates pDNA isoforms under overloading conditions - where sc pDNA isoform acts as a displacer of oc or linear pDNA isoform.

The CIMacTM antibody immobilization platform enables an elegant immobilization of antibodies, which can be used as immunosorbents in specific diagnostic applications as well as in downstream processes. In this work we show the dependence of the coupling strategy on CIM monolith with the chromatographic efficiency of final immunoaffinity adsorbent. Different activation chemistries  were tested for the immobilization of two model monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with subsequent chromatographic characterization of the affinity support.

Column used for this application note were CIMac CDI, AE, EDA, HDZ, rpA.

Yes. Make sure that either the inlet or the outlet of the column is open to prevent excess pressure buildup. Autoclaving monolithic columns for aseptic use is recommended. Prior to disposal, monoliths can also be autoclaved. For specifics, please consult help@biaseparations.com.

Yes.
