Continuous Chromatographic mAb Polishing via Step Gradient SMB

Multi-column chromatography (MCC) has gained popularity for monoclonal antibody (mAb) capture processes, potentially offering benefits of higher productivity and lower resource consumption, including buffers and resin. However, there is still a need to demonstrate the efffectiveness of polishing steps using MCC. This study will do just that by demonstrating the implementation of step gradients for mAb polishing using a MMC system and technique.

Event Overview:

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are essential biopharmaceuticals due to their specificity and targeted therapeutic potential. Recent shifts in mAb production favor continuous over batch processes, yet downstream processing remains a costly bottleneck. Multi-column chromatography (MCC), including continuous capture and simulated moving bed (SMB) chromatography, offer cost-effective alternatives with higher productivity and lower resource consumption. This study demonstrates the implementation of step gradients for mAb polishing, further extending the use-case spectrum of SMB technology in biopharmaceutical manufacturing.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Understand MCC instrumentation and pre-packed process columns used for the gradient SMB processes
• Visualize the benefits and outcomes of step gradients for mAb polishing, including increased productivity, buffer savings, and more efficient resin use
• Dive into the development of the step gradient and compare it with varying batch and MCC techniques

Who Should Attend:

• Downstream process development scientists
• Purification experts
• Process engineers
• Continuous manufacturing and continuous chromatography enthusiasts
