TOYOPEARL AND TSKgel BULK RESINS FOR IEC
HIGHLIGHTS
TOYOPEARL GigaCap
®
S-650, CM-650M, DEAE-650, and Q-650 resins
are high capacity ion exchange resins featuring high dynamic binding
capacities for both small molecules like insulin and larger proteins
like monoclonal antibodies.
Salt tolerant TOYOPEARL NH
2
-750F anion exchanger with >100 nm
pore size.
Weak and strong anion and cation exchangers are offered in both
product lines.
Standard 100 nm pore size for large biopolymers and 50 nm pore size
packing for optimal binding capacity are available.
High efficiency TSKgel resins scale up directly fromTSKgel analytical
columns.
For separating mixtures of biomolecules, Ion Exchange Chromatography
(IEC) is known for its high resolution and high capacity. It is very
effective in the initial capture step of a chromatography process. IEC is
also useful for further purification and/or polishing. It can complement
other chromatographic techniques in the design of an economical
downstream purification process. IEC is often used as a purification
step before HIC, SEC, and RPC. IEC will also purify and concentrate the
target molecule in one step when the sample is diluted. This also allows
it to be used as a concentration step after SEC. A 5000-fold scale-up
of a
α
-galactosidase enzyme purification was accomplished using
TOYOPEARL DEAE-650M. The chromatograms in
Figure 6
demonstrate
the excellent scale up characteristics of TOYOPEARL ion exchange
media. Gradient slope and particle diameter remained unchanged.
Linear velocity was reduced by 15% in the largest scale separation, and
resolution actually improved relative to the smallest scale separation.
This may be partly attributed to increased bed height and the slower
linear velocity. Although the column volume was increased in part by
increasing the bed height, the principal change in column volume was a
result of the greater column diameter (1.4 cm to 60 cm L). This example
illustrates how TOYOPEARL media can be conveniently scaled up from
laboratory to production scale applications using the same particle size
if desired.
Because the correct choice of an ion exchange resin can have
a considerable impact on the economy of a process, Tosoh Bioscience
provides many product options in both TOYOPEARL and TSKgel IEC
bulk polymeric media. See
Table III
for a complete listing of available
particle sizes. Ordering information for quantities < 1 L is provided at the
end of this section.
