Mixed-Mode Chromatography | Sartorius

Mixed-Mode Chromatography

New biotherapeutics such as nanobodies, bispecific mAbs and fusion proteins,  present new challenges to traditional downstream purification platforms. Additionally, higher mAb titers and newly engineered mAb-like fusion proteins now drive the need for higher productivity/selectivity purification.

Sartorius Mixed-Mode (MM) chromatography ligands interact with target protein molecules through multiple types of interactions such as affinity, hydrophobic interaction (HIC), and cation/anion exchange. These multimodal separation mechanisms allow resins to be applied to solve challenging purification problems where traditional IEX, HIC, or affinity chromatography alone do not meet the need.

Full Scalability and Support

Matrices scalable from benchtop to commercial manufacturing


 

Unique Selectivities

Unique mixed-mode ligands offer increased selectivity and resolution, offering a more powerful separation for complex purification

High Productivity

Plug-and-play chromatography matrices allow high-speed processing without sacrificing capacity


Find the Right Answer for Your Chromatography Process

Novel biopharmaceutical targets such as nanobodies, multi-specific mAbs , and fusion proteins require new selectivities to achieve high product purity. Mixed-mode matrices leverage multimodal separation mechanisms such as IEX and HIC to achieve higher selectivity and purity in a single step compared to traditional single-mode chromatography.

Mixed-Mode Resins

New Purification Challenges Require a Different Approach

Novel biopharmaceutical targets such as nanobodies, plural-specific mAbs, and fusion proteins require unique selectivities to achieve high product purity. Mixed-mode resins leverage multi-modal separation mechanisms such as IEX and HIC to achieve higher selectivity and purity in a single step than in traditional single-mode chromatography.

Sartorius offers a broad range of selectivities to address challenges with a high concentration of contaminants with the intensified feedstreams, aggregates issues with newer modalities, and to remove challenging process or product-related impurities. Achieve reduced process costs by streamlining pre- or post-diafiltration steps.
