UHP-SEC Analysis of Immunoglobulins with TSKgel UP-SW3000
Antibody therapeutics are dominating the biopharmaceutical market. In 2013, six of the top ten global drug brands were monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). The characterization of these complex biomolecules is a major challenge in process monitoring and quality control. The main product characteristics to be monitored by chromatography are aggregate and fragment content, glycosylation pattern and charged isoforms.

The standard QC method for mAb aggregate and fragment analysis is size exclusion chromatography (SEC). A new series of 2 micron silica based UHPLC columns with 25 nm pore size can be applied to either increase speed or improve resolution of the separation of antibody fragments, monomers, and dimers.
