Advances in Size Exclusion Chromatography for the Analysis of Macromolecular Proteins

1 Apr 2013

Size exclusion chromatography has been the preferred method for the analysis of proteins based on size. This application note demonstrates how by combining 450 Å sub 3-µm packing materials with a low dispersion ACQUITY UPLC H-Class System, separations with improved resolution and high-throughput of SE-UPLC can be realized for macromolecular proteins and highly aggregated proteins with molecular weights of up to approximately 2000 kDa.

BEH (Ethylene Bridged Hybrid) Particles for ACQUITY UPLC

Waters

The 1.7 µm Ethylene Bridged Hybrid [BEH] particle is one of the key enablers behind UPLC® technology.It is available in three different pore sizes [130Å, 200Å and 300Å] and several bonded phases for reversed-phase and hydrophilic interaction chromatography and is applicable from small molecule to large biopharmaceutical analysis. Due to the intrinsic chemical stability of hybrid particle technology, a wider usable pH range [pH 1-12] can be employed, enabling a versatile and robust separation technology for method development. BEH particle technology is available in HPLC particle sizes [2.5, 3.5, 5 and 10 µm] in the XBridge® family of HPLC columns, enabling seamless transfer between HPLC and UPLC technology platforms.
