Figure Lengend Snippet: Summary of the hyphenated AF4 experimental design. Experiments were conducted in single runs or duplicates

Article Snippet: The separation protocol comprised six consecutive steps, each characterized by its individual duration and applied cross-flow rate ( V x ) as shown in the example of Table S . For the evaluation of the quality of the separation and the characterization of the AgNP fractions’ optical properties, UV/Vis spectra were recorded using a Shimadzu SPD-M10Avp photodiode array detector (PDA, graphical abstract) linked to the Eclipse AF4 device with 0.25-mm ID PEEK tubing and controlled with a SCL-10Avp unit via the LCsolution software 1.03 SP3 (Shimadzu).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Size characterization of AgNP_LA in batch and in AF4-UV/Vis-DLS system. Results obtained with the ZetaSizer Nano-ZS for the hydrodynamic diameter d H , polydispersity index PdI , and zeta-potential ζ . Parenthesized values were determined ca. 4 months after purchasing the AgNPs; all other values were determined directly after delivery. AF4 experiments were conducted within 2 months after AgNP delivery. Values shown in the table for 1:1 AgNP_LA mixtures were acquired with the best experimental conditions

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fractograms and hydrodynamic diameter of a 1:1 mixture of 20-nm and 80-nm AgNP_LA acquired with V x = 0.5 mL/min and 0.05% v/v Mucasol as carrier solution. Black color refers to a mixture prepared in ultrapure water; red color refers to the preparation in fjord water and injection into the AF4 system 20 min after preparation

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 1. Scheme of the two analytical focuses of this study. (a) Empty and filled AAV8 VLP particles are analyzed via nES GEMMA and AFM. (b) AF4 liquid-phase separation enables AAV8 VLP oligomer analysis by means of nES GEMMA and AFM after fractionation.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 2. Implications of the buffer exchange treatment. (a) nES GEMMA spectra of the sample before (black trace) and after (red trace) desalting. Nonvolatile salts and other components (3−15 nm) are drastically reduced. The inset shows the shift toward small EM diameter of the AAV8 VLP’s peak. (b) AF4 fractogram of the sample with (red trace) or without (blue trace) a buffer exchange procedure. Both nES GEMMA spectra (a) and (b) show reduced signal intensity for the AAV8 VLP’s peak due to sample loss during the desalting treatment.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5. nES GEMMA spectra and AFM images of the three fractions collected with the AF4 technique (see Figure 4b). (a, b) Monomer (M) fraction; (c, d) dimer (D) and trimer (T) fraction; and (e, f) higher oligomeric (O) fraction. nES GEMMA spectra compare signals obtained for VLP-containing samples (red traces) and blanks recorded for a NH4OAc blank (black traces), respectively. nES GEMMA signals below 20 nm EM diameter putatively correspond to incompletely removed, aggregating AF4 buffer components. In (f), the arrow indicates an AAV8 VLP higher oligomer with a height of 35 nm.
