For over 30 years, CHT Ceramic Hydroxyapatite Chromatography Media has been a trusted, proven purification solution for many biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes. CHT Media provides exceptional removal of impurities when other chromatography resins fall short. In this webcast, explore the essential facts and benefits of this chromatography technology.

In nature, mammalian extracellular vesicles (EVs) are vital for intercellular communication, immune responses, and cell removal. EVs also hold promise in diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccine delivery due to their abundance and natural role as carriers. Explore how overcoming challenges in EV purification and precise RNA analysis methods can help unlock their potential applications.

Anion exchange and mixed-mode chromatography offer efficient and flexible AAV purification. Learn new strategies for optimizing viral vector purification.

The current gold standard in monoclonal antibody purification for most researchers is affinity purification with Protein A or G followed by size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Although robust and highly effective, this workflow does have critical pain points and inefficiencies, leaving researchers to feel that they must oversee every step of their workflow, not leaving their chromatography system unattended for more than a few minutes.

In this case study, process chromatography application scientist Artur Stanczak presents a two-step mAb purification workflow, comparing multimodal resin alternatives used for the polishing step that occurs after protein A capture. The design of experiment (DOE) data presented characterizes the behavior of multiple mAbs with two different mixed-mode resins. The importance of scale, prior knowledge, and the stage of development will also be discussed. The results of both mixed-mode resin studies and the different DOE approaches demonstrate the ability to achieve high-purity products.

Seychelle M. Vos, PhD, has a passion for science that was ignited at a young age while exploring her parents’ garden and the natural world around her. Now she studies some of the biggest questions in genome biology: how DNA structure and chromatin influence protein transcription. The molecular machines that physically couple transcription and DNA structure by changing the position of nucleosomes, interfacing with chromatin, and compressing DNA into loops, are the focus of Vos’ research.

Tetanus toxoid (TT) is a common carrier protein for conjugate vaccines, but its production is faced with significant challenges. Learn about a purification process that yields over 98% pure target protein in this video.

Dominique Ingato, PhD, is a faculty member at MiraCosta College’s Department of Biotechnology. As one of only fifteen community colleges in California to offer a bachelor’s degree, MiraCosta College’s bachelor’s program in biomanufacturing is breaking ground. As part of this program, Ingato runs a next-generation chromatography (NGC) teaching lab, where students receive practical, hands-on training using state-of-the-art instruments, such as the NGC Chromatography System.

Viral clearance studies are part of a multifaceted approach to ensure biopharmaceutical product safety. To prevent costly changes to a manufacturing process, it is important to assess each operation unit for its efficiency early on during downstream process development. See how a design of experiments (DOE) approach was utilized in this case study to investigate the effect of buffer pH and conductivity on the removal of impurities by an anion exchange (AEX) mixed-mode chromatography resin.

Large-scale downstream processing of viruses can face a range of obstacles different from those of many biotherapeutics. These challenges mostly arise from the size and complexity of the virus, which can affect product purity and recovery. Improvements of purification tools are necessary to overcome these challenges and must be engineered for easy scalability to meet manufacturing demands. In this video, Dr. Mark Snyder discusses common difficulties when developing purification strategies for vaccine production and gene therapy.
