Figure Lengend Snippet: Stability studies for multimodal chromatography (step 1) and immunoaffinity chromatography (step 2). ( A ) Total FSH breakthrough at applying 1.9 mg FSH/mL Capto MMC resin in control cycles (area under breakthrough curve) as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Downscaling 1:125 in cycle 1 (Tricorn 5/200 column, bed volume 4 mL), 1:500 in the remaining cycles (Tricorn 5/50 column, bed volume 1 mL). Loaded 1.9 mg FSH/mL resin, residence time 2 min (cycle 1), 40 s (cycle 2), 1 min (cycles 3, 30, 40). Data are mean values, and error bars represent standard deviation (n = 2). ( B ) Peak volume integration for eluates in 40 working cycles, absorbance channel at 280 nm. Capto MMC resin, downscaling 1:400 (Tricorn 5/50 column, bed volume 1 mL). Loaded 1.3 mg FSH/mL resin, residence time 1 min. ( C ) FSH eluted from immunoaffinity column. CaptureSelect FSH Affinity Matrix, downscaling 1:700 (Tricorn 5/50 column, bed volume 1 mL). Loaded 2 mg FSH/mL resin, residence time 1 min. FSH content in the eluates measured by absorption at 280 nm. ( D ) Peak volume integration for eluates from 1 mL column filled with CaptureSelect FSH Affinity Matrix. Loaded 1.1 mg FSH/mL resin, downscaling 1:700, residence time 1 min. Data for 40 working cycles in absorbance channel at 280 nm.
Article Snippet: The initial product capture step aimed at isolation and concentration was performed using two columns filled with Capto MMC resin: a Tricorn 5/200 column (Cytiva) packed with 4 mL of the resin was used for DBC determination (downscaling 1:125, column volume/column volume, CV/CV), and a Tricorn 5/50 column (Cytiva) packed with 1 mL of the resin was used to determine the optimal residence time and the cycling studies (downscaling 1:500, CV/CV).
