Application Notes
Automated buffer exchange during the protein characterization process
Biopharmaceuticals, in particular therapeutic proteins and antibodies, are a steadily growing segment and currently the most successful group of drugs. Due to the chemical and structural variability of the molecules, a thorough characterization is very important. During the characterization of proteins, in many cases a buffer exchange has to be carried out in order to stabilize them or to create the necessary conditions for further processing. With the goal of overcoming the current bottleneck in the automation of quality control of therapeutic proteins, scienova and Hamilton Robotics have joined forces to automate scienova’s Xpress dialyzer plates on Hamilton’s Microlab STAR.
The results speak for themselves and for the pursuit of this approach. The Xpress Dialyzer plates are an ideal tool for automated exchange of the dialysis buffer.
- Easy handling and automation
- Over 90% sample recovery
- Flexibility in the number of samples, wide range of volumes and different cut off sizes (MWCO)
