Ion Exchange Resins
BioPro IEX and BioPro IEX SmartSep are available as a strong anion exchanger (BioPro IEX Q) and a strong cation exchanger (BioPro IEX S). Ion exchange media are widely used in the analysis and purification of biomolecules, such as proteins, antibodies and oligonucleotides. For initial product capture IEX resins with a high dynamic binding capacity (DBC) such as BioPro IEX 75 are advantageous. The high loadability results in higher productivity. For the following intermediate purification and polishing steps smaller particle sizes are typically used to improve the resolution. The BioPro IEX SmartSep resins show excellent resolution and pressure-flow characteristics. This ensures low back pressure even at high flow rates.
MacroSep IEX Q is specially designed for the purification of larger biomolecules such as adeno-associated viruses (AAVs), protein complexes and plasmid DNA (pDNA). This new strong anion exchange resin offers an optimised macro-porous structure that ensures an efficient purification of these molecules. With its high binding capacity for large particles and molecules and high separation efficiency even at elevated flow rates, MacroSep IEX Q is a perfect addition to DSP platforms.

Multiple Sample Options Available!
High sample loading at high flow rates is determined by the dynamic binding capacity of an ion exchange resin. The dynamic binding capacity of BioPro is excellent even at high flow rates. When compared to similar competitor products it consistently exhibits a higher dynamic binding capacity. This results in higher sample loading in preparative processes.
IgY is a commonly used immunoglobulin from egg yolk. In contrast to human IgG-antibodies, IgY does not bind to Protein A which makes the preparative purification of these molecules challenging. This application shows the successful two-step purification of IgY using IEX as an efficient capturing step.
