CIM® r-Protein A-80 Tube Monolithic Column - a fast purification platform for identification and characterization of mAbs

Lab scale production of recombinant human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is required for the identification and characterization of lead clones with potential therapeutic value. For this purpose, many mAbs need to be screened. MAbs titers in this type of production scale tend to be quite low (from 0.01 – to 0.1 mg/mL), therefore a substantial amount of material needs to be processed to obtain the right amount of purified mAbs. Speed of processing and the ability to capture mAbs from diluted harvest stock are essential in this type of mAbs purification.


In this application note, a quick purification procedure using a CIM® r-Protein A-80 Tube Monolithic Column that generated up to 100 mg of mAbs with a purity of more than 95 % is described. Elution of mAbs is performed using a two-dimensional gradient (pH 7.2 to 2.5; NaCl 150 to 500 mM), allowing gentle elution of a wide range of mAbs at moderate pH (pH ~4) without any method optimization. Using this procedure, approximately 30 different mAbs were purified, processing up to 5 L of loading material (2 times diluted clarified harvest).
