ToyoScreen PROCESS DEVELOPMENT COLUMNS
ToyoScreen Process Development columns are easy-to-use, pre-
packed columns containing the most popular TOYOPEARL resins. These
columns provide a convenient, low-cost method for the evaluation of
TOYOPEARL ligand chemistries. ToyoScreen Process Development
columns are available in volumes of 1 mL and 5 mL for affinity, ion
exchange, mixed-mode and hydrophobic interaction chromatography.
See the chapter on bulk resins for detailed information on TOYOPEARL
resins.
Screening
Historically, resin screening was accomplished by manually packing
various bulk resins into small columns requiring a significant investment
in time and cost. In order to improve the efficiency of resin screening
experiments, pre-packed ToyoScreen Process Development columns
were developed for the evaluation of different TOYOPEARL resins.
Scalability
Initial results from resin screening and optimization with ToyoScreen
columns can accurately predict the separation behavior at larger
scales.
Figure 1
illustrates the similar retention time behavior between
1 mL ToyoScreen columns and con-ventional 7.5 mm ID x 7.5 cm L
analytical columns. Additionally,
Figure 2
depicts a practical antibody
scale up in which conditions were set using a 1 mL ToyoScreen column
and applied to a 10 mL semi-preparative column with a different inner
diameter and length. Similar resolution results are predicted by the
following equation:
Method Optimization
Besides the determination of what sticks during resin screening
experiments, ToyoScreen Process Development columns can be used
to quickly establish optimum elution conditions. Varying pH, salt type,
salt gradients and flow rate are common experimental parameters
explored. The effect of varying salt type and pH are shown in
