Analyzing Post-Translational Modifications of Intact IgG Using Aeris™ WIDEPORE Core-Shell HPLC/UHPLC and BioSep™ GFC/SEC Columns

23 Oct 2014

The ever growing interest in protein therapeutics has found researchers looking for improved solutions for identifying posttranslational modifications of proteins. For the analysis of large, intact proteins like recombinant IgG therapeutics, Phenomenex offers two bioseparation product lines (Aeris and BioSep) for improved solutions in identifying low-level post-translational modifications. Aeris WIDEPORE is a reversed phase core-shell HPLC/UHPLC column that features improved resolution and recovery versus traditional fully porous 300 Å media. BioSep columns offer high performance gel filtration separations that offer improved resolution and inertness versus other aqueous GFC columns. This application note features examples of the use of each column for analyzing recombinant IgG.

Aeris Core-Shell LC Columns for Proteins and Peptides

Phenomenex Inc

  Core-Shell Particles Precision Engineered for Protein and Peptide Separations.   Core-shell particle technology provides striking increases in peak capacity and resolution at lower backpressure, giving chromatographers the ability to achieve ultra-high performance on ANY system, HPLC or UHPLC. A uniform porous silica layer is grown around a solid, spherical silica core, providing effective retention and selectivity with improved resolution, speed, and recovery. Next, optimizing the pore size and shell thickness for intact proteins or smaller peptide fragments provides well-defined depth penetration of biomolecules leading to maximum separation power. Column Specifications: Phase: PEPTIDE XB-C18, WIDEPORE C4, WIDEPORE XB-C18, WIDEPORE XB-C8 Particle Size: 1.7, 2.6, 3.6, 5.0 µm Pore Size: 200, 100 Å Length: 50, 100, 150, 250 mm ID: 2.1, 3.0, 4.6, 10.0, 21.2 PEPTIDE XB-C18 Synthetic peptide impurity analysis Peptide mapping Identifying protein modifications - Glycosylation - Substitution - Truncation Analyzing post-translational modifications - Deamidation - Oxidation - Deletions WIDEPORE XB-C18 Proteins Hydrophilic proteins PEGylated proteins High temperature separations Alternative selectivity for peptide mapping WIDEPORE XB-C8 Large proteins Moderately hydrophobic proteins Monoclonal antibodies Glycosylated proteins High temperature separations WIDEPORE C4 Very large proteins Very hydrophobic proteins Membrane proteins Least retentive
