Reversed-Phase Solutions for Intact and IdeS Digested mAbs

Experience an innovative solution for the analytical characterization of intact protein analysis of mAbs and ADCs with BioResolve RP mAb Polyphenyl Columns. Utilizing a novel phenyl bonding, solid-core technology, these columns provide better resolution at higher flow rates, so you can maximize the resolving power and selectivity of various analyzed protein samples. The high coverage bonding prevents carryover effects and increases low pH stability for improved column lifetime.


Cation-Exchange Column Technology for Antibody Charge Variants

Charge variant analysis for monoclonal antibodies and other proteins is a critical quality attribute to understand. The BioResolve SCX mAb Columns offer a solution-based platform for LC and LC-MS users utilizing robust salt and pH gradient methods. The BioResolve SCX mAb Columns are based on non-porous, 3 μm particle technology for optimal protein diffusion kinetics and pressure tolerance for use on HPLC, UHPLC, and UPLC systems. These non-porous polymeric particles minimize analyte band spread and enhance mAb separations, giving you superior component recovery, peak shape, and component resolution. The BioResolve SCX Columns were designed alongside the BioResolve CX pH Buffer Concentrates, which work together to provide simple-to-implement charge variant profiling – so you can achieve high resolution and robust separations.


SEC Columns for mAb Aggregate, Monomer, and Fragment/Clip Analyses

BioResolve SEC mAb Columns are purposely designed for organizations involved in the research and/or development of monoclonal antibody (mAb) drugs that require accurate quantitation of mAb aggregates (HMWS), monomers, and fragments/clips (LMWS). BioResolce SEC mAb Columns provide reliable, high-quality, SEC analytical data which address internal and regulatory concerns regarding these biotherapeutics.



Stay compliant with smart column options

Ideal for compliant laboratories, smart column options are available for identifying and tracking column information. The eCord is a data recording device which is permanently attached to the column body of 2.x μm particle size (2.1 and 3.0 mm internal diameter) and ACQUITY UPLC columns and is standard for those column offerings. Rather, the eConnect column tag is a permanently attached electronic tag device for HPLC columns (≥ 2.x μm particles) used with Alliance iS and Alliance iS Bio HPLC Systems that are optional. Data from column devices (eCord device or eConnect column tag) can be accessed using the respective system’s console. These smart-column abilities provide a quick overview of column history and can be utilized as a basic troubleshooting tool. Data residing on these devices are automatically imported by and later searchable via Empower CDS.
