SEC Column Selection and Care for Biotherapeutic Proteins & Peptides
Waters Corporation: SEC Column Selection and Care for Biotherapeutic Proteins & Peptides
Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) is a commonly used technique throughout the research, development, and commercialization of biotherapeutic proteins and peptides.
The key to successful SEC methods begins with selecting an appropriate SEC column, based on application need and LC instrumentation, and separation method to generate reliable quantitative data.
This webinar will provide an overview on how to select an appropriate SEC column for your application and separation challenges. It will also review how to maximize SEC column life, ways to address concerns if, and when, they arise, and technology that reduces non-desired protein to SEC particle / column secondary interactions.
Topics:
- Four steps in determining an appropriate SEC column based on application and LC instrumentation
- SEC method development
- Overcoming non-desired protein and column secondary interactions
- Is a platform SEC method possible?
- Considerations to maximize SEC column life
