BioPro IEX Bulk Media
Particle Technology
Ion exchange media are widely used in the analysis and purification of biomolecules. For instance, in industrial-scale protein production processes, IEX media are often used for initial product capture and intermediate purification stages as well as the final polishing steps. Using reversible charge-charge interactions offers several advantages in comparison to other chromatographic methods, e.g. high capacity and fast throughput.
BioPro IEX and BioPro IEX SmartSep form a series of ion exchange resins specifically designed for biochromatography. They are available as a strong anion exchanger (BioPro IEX Q) and a strong cation exchanger (BioPro IEX S).
The media are based on a hydrophilic polymer matrix, with a particle size of 10 µm, 20 µm, 30 µm and 75 µm.
BioPro IEX offers a high dynamic binding capacity (DBC), together with low non-specific adsorption and excellent recovery. BioPro IEX is manufactured in lot sizes up to 450 L.

Purification of monoclonal antibodies
Ion exchange (IEX) is widely used for the analysis and purification of bio-molecules such as protaeins, peptides and monoclonal antibodies.
In industrial-scale production, IEX is used for initial capture, intermediate purifications or final product pollishing.
Challenges during mAb purification
For purification of monoclonal antibodies, high demandes are required from the separating material. Factors influencing the binding characteristics of lgG are pH, linear elocity and/or salt concentration (at the time the sample is loaded onto the column.

High Dynamic Binding Capacity: The dynamic binding capacity of BioPro IEX is excellent even at high flow rates. This results in higher sample loading in your preparative process.
Cleaning in Place: BioPro IEX is well suited for alkaline CIP procedures.
Stability towards alkaline conditions: The high chemical stability of BioPro IEX resins allows effective cleaning and economic purifications.
Scalability across All Particle Sizes: The consistent performance across all particle sizes is advantageous for seamless method transfer between particle sizes.
Excellent Dynamic Binding Capacity at High Linear Flow Rates
Cleaning in Place (CIP)
BioPro IEX S75 is well suited for alkaline CIP procedures. The dynamic binding capacity (DBC) and the selectivity are unaffected by 20 cycles of CIP with 1.0 M NaOH. The recovery of proteins is maintained at 100%, which demonstrates the absence of nonspecific adsorption of proteins of this hydrophilic resin.
Stability towards alkaline conditions
Cleaning-in-place (CIP) is essential for the economic use of packed chromatography columns. Efficient cleaning procedures increase the lifetime of the separation process and thereby contribute to the overall cost effectiveness. Furthermore, powerful CIP procedures strongly increase the safety and productivity of every downstream process.
IEX resins from YMC are fully compatible to typical CIP procedures. As an example, CIP studies have been performed using NaOH solutions with BioPro IEX S75/IEX Q75 as well as with BioPro IEX SmartSep S30/Q30. All YMC IEX resins maintain their performance valueseven after 100 CIP cycles.
