Our Newest Size Exclusion Chromatography Column for Monoclonal Antibodies: YMC-SEC MAB

October 5, 2018

At YMC America, Inc., you can buy analytical columns to meet your most demanding applications. Now, we are pleased to announce our newest analytical column: YMC-SEC MAB.

This silica-based size exclusion chromatography column consists of a dihydroxypropyl stationary phase bonded to a silica gel base, and has been specifically designed for high-resolution analysis of monoclonal antibody products.

Key product specifications:

  • Base particle: 3µm silica
  • Pore size: 250Å
  • Functional group: Dihydroxypropyl (Diol)
  • pH range: 5.0-7.5
  • Max temperature: 40 °C
  • Molecular weight: 10kDa to 700kDa

YMC-SEC MAB is optimized for separating both aggregates and fragments of mAbs. Additionally, it can be used for analyzing antibody drug conjugates by using organic-containing mobile phases which reduce hydrophobic interactions. See our ADC application here: YMC-SEC MAB for ADCs

 

Benefits of YMC-SEC MAB

  • Excellent lot-to-lot reproducibility: Virtually no lot-to-lot variability providing excellent reproducibility for effective quality control methods.  Exhibits low non-specific adsorption with improved stability for long column lifetime.
  • Exceptional resolution: Provides competitive performance to similar 3µm SEC products currently available on the market. For both HMW and LMW species, resolution is significantly improved.
  • Designed for antibody sizing separations: Developed on a 3µm, 250Å pore size particle useful for separating aggregates from monomer, as well as providing increased resolution for lower molecular weight fragments.
