Abstract
It is believed that polysaccharides will become a focal point for future production of food, pharmaceuticals, and materials due to their ubiquitous and renewable nature, as well as their exceptional properties that have been extensively validated in the fields of nutrition, healthcare, and materials. Sulfated polysaccharides derived from seaweed sources have attracted considerable attention owing to their distinctive structures and properties. The genus Codium, represented by the species C. fragile, holds significance as a vital economic green seaweed and serves as a traditional Chinese medicinal herb. To date, the cell walls of the genus Codium have been found to contain at least four types of sulfated polysaccharides, specifically pyruvylated β-d-galactan sulfates, sulfated arabinogalactans, sulfated β-l-arabinans, and sulfated β-d-mannans. These sulfated polysaccharides exhibit diverse biofunctions, including anticoagulant, immune-enhancing, anticancer, antioxidant activities, and drug-carrying capacity. This review explores the structural and biofunctional diversity of sulfated polysaccharides derived from the genus Codium. Additionally, in addressing the impending challenges within the industrialization of these polysaccharides, encompassing concerns regarding scale-up production and quality control, we outline potential strategies to address these challenges from the perspectives of raw materials, extraction processes, purification technologies, and methods for quality control.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a mixed-mode media that has been used extensively for the purification of proteins and DNA since the 1950s. Hydroxyapatite possesses a distinctive selectivity that may be applied in the purification of a wide range of biomolecules: immunoglobulins, alkaline proteins, acidic proteins, and DNA. The functional groups of HA can both attract and repel the carboxyl and amino groups on target molecules. This unique selectivity is due to the modalities that can be employed, which are not possible with traditional anion-exchange and cation-exchange chromatography. HA is a powerful chromatography step for reducing host cell-derived impurities and aggregated product, where a 2-4 log reduction in host cell proteins, aggregates, endotoxin, and viruses are routinely achieved. This chapter describes the procedures for: efficiently packing and evaluating a HA column, purifying IgG and acidic proteins respectively using HA chromatography.

Abstract
The potential of continuous bioprocessing is hindered by the bottlenecks of chromatography processing, which continues to be executed in batch mode. Highlighting the critical drawbacks of batch chromatography, this review underscores the transition that the industry has made by implementing continuous upstream process without devising a working model for downstream chromatography operations. Even though multitude of process development initiatives have commenced, the review emphasizes the first principle models of chromatography on which these initiatives are built. Various models of continuous chromatography, which are essential, but not limited to multi-column systems, employed to congeal a unified process are reviewed. Advancements made by several mechanistic models and simulations to maximize productivity and performance are described, in an attempt to provide the integral tools. The modeling tools can be used for development of a strong model based control strategy and can be embedded into the continuous chromatography framework. The review addresses the limitations and challenges of the current modeling methods for development of robust mechanistic modeling and efficient unit operation platform in continuous chromatography.

Abstract
Continuous biomanufacturing of recombinant therapeutic proteins offers several potential advantages over conventional batch processing, including reduced cost of goods, more flexible and responsive manufacturing facilities, and improved and consistent product quality. Although continuous approaches to various upstream and downstream unit operations have been considered and studied for decades, in recent years interest and application have accelerated. Researchers have achieved increasingly higher levels of process intensification, and have also begun to integrate different continuous unit operations into larger, holistically continuous processes. This review first discusses approaches for continuous cell culture, with a focus on perfusion-enabling cell separation technologies including gravitational, centrifugal, and acoustic settling, as well as filtration-based techniques. We follow with a review of various continuous downstream unit operations, covering categories such as clarification, chromatography, formulation, and viral inactivation and filtration. The review ends by summarizing case studies of integrated and continuous processing as reported in the literature.

Abstract
Antibodies continue to be extremely utilized entities in myriad applications including basic research, imaging, targeted delivery, chromatography, diagnostics, and therapeutics. At production stage, antibodies are generally present in complex matrices and most of their intended applications necessitate purification. Antibody purification has always been a major bottleneck in downstream processing of antibodies, due to the need of high quality products and associated high costs. Over the years, extensive research has focused on finding better purification methodologies to overcome this holdup. Among a plethora of different techniques, affinity chromatography is one of the most selective, rapid and easy method for antibody purification. This review aims to provide a detailed overview on affinity chromatography and the components involved in purification. An array of support matrices along with various classes of affinity ligands detailing their underlying working principles, together with the advantages and limitations of each system in purifying different types of antibodies, accompanying recent developments and important practical methodological considerations to optimize purification procedure are discussed.

Abstract
Socially responsible technologies are designed while taking into consideration the socioeconomic, geopolitical and environmental limitations of regions in which they will be implemented. In the medical context, this involves making therapeutic platforms more accessible and affordable to patients in poor regions of the world wherein a given disease is endemic. This often necessitates going against the reigning trend of making therapeutic nanoparticles ever more structurally complex and expensive. However, studies aimed at simplifying materials and formulations while maintaining the functionality and therapeutic response of their more complex counterparts seldom provoke a significant interest in the scientific community. In this review we demonstrate that such compositional simplifications are meaningful when it comes to the design of a solution for osteomyelitis, a disease that is in its natural, non-postoperative form particularly prevalent in the underdeveloped parts of the world wherein poverty, poor sanitary conditions, and chronically compromised defense lines of the immune system are the norm. We show that calcium phosphate nanoparticles, which are inexpensive to make, could be chemically designed to possess the same functionality as a hypothetic mixture additionally composed of: (a) a bone growth factor; (b) an antibiotic for prophylactic or anti-infective purposes; (c) a bisphosphonate as an antiresorptive compound; (d) a viral vector to enable the intracellular delivery of therapeutics; (e) a luminescent dye; (f) a radiographic component; (g) an imaging contrast agent; (h) a magnetic domain; and (i) polymers as viscous components enabling the injectability of the material and acting as carriers for the sustained release of a drug. In particular, calcium phosphates could: (a) produce tunable drug release profiles; (b) take the form of viscous and injectable, self-setting pastes; (c) be naturally osteo-inductive and inhibitory for osteoclastogenesis; (d) intracellularly deliver bioactive compounds; (e) accommodate an array of functional ions; (f) be processed into macroporous constructs for tissue engineering; and (g) be naturally antimicrobial. All in all, we see in calcium phosphates the presence of a protean nature whose therapeutic potentials have been barely tapped into.

Abstract
For half a century aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) have been applied for the extraction and purification of biomolecules. In spite of their simplicity, selectivity, and relatively low cost they have not been significantly employed for industrial scale bioprocessing. Recently their ability to be readily scaled and interface easily in single-use, flexible biomanufacturing has led to industrial re-evaluation of ATPSs. The purpose of this review is to perform a SWOT analysis that includes a discussion of: (i) strengths of ATPS partitioning as an effective and simple platform for biomolecule purification; (ii) weaknesses of ATPS partitioning in regard to intrinsic problems and possible solutions; (iii) opportunities related to biotechnological challenges that ATPS partitioning may solve; and (iv) threats related to alternative techniques that may compete with ATPS in performance, economic benefits, scale up and reliability. This approach provides insight into the current status of ATPS as a bioprocessing technique and it can be concluded that most of the perceived weakness towards industrial implementation have now been largely overcome, thus paving the way for opportunities in fermentation feed clarification, integration in multi-stage operations and in single-step purification processes.

Abstract
Retention mapping of chimeric monoclonal IgG(1), Fc, Fab, F(ab')(2), and aggregated antibody was conducted on hydroxyapatite (HA) by systematically varying phosphate and chloride concentrations during gradient elution in order to characterize the interactions of each solute with calcium and phosphate residues on the solid phase. Lysozyme was used as a control to model cation exchange-dominant interactions. Bovine serum albumin was used as a control for calcium affinity-dominant interactions. Calcium affinity and phosphoryl cation exchange were positively cooperative for IgG-related species. Fc retention was dominated by calcium affinity, while retention of Fab was dominated by cation exchange. F(ab')(2) exhibited a curve shape similar to Fab, but stronger retention. The retention curve for intact IgG incorporated the distinctive elements of its fragments but stronger retention than that predicted by their addition to one another. Aggregate retention paralleled the curve for non-aggregated antibody, with stronger retention by both binding mechanisms. Experimental data revealed evidence of charge repulsion between IgG carboxyls and HA phosphate at low conductivity values. Electrostatic repulsion of amino residues and attraction of carboxyls by HA calcium appeared to be blocked by strong complexation of calcium with mobile phase phosphate.

Abstract
Many successful, recent therapies for life-threatening diseases such as cancer and rheumatoid arthritis are based on the recognition between native or genetically engineered antibodies and cell-surface receptors. Although naturally produced by the immune system, the need for antibodies with unique specificities and designed for single application, has encouraged the search for novel antibody purification strategies. The availability of these products to the end-consumer is strictly related to manufacture costs, particularly those attributed to downstream processing. Over the last decades, academia and industry have developed different types of interactions and separation techniques for antibody purification, affinity-based strategies being the most common and efficient methodologies. The affinity ligands utilized range from biological to synthetic designed molecules with enhanced resistance and stability. Despite the successes achieved, the purification "paradigm" still moves interests and efforts in the continuous demand for improved separation performances. This review will focus on recent advances and perspectives in antibody purification by affinity interactions using different techniques, with particular emphasis on affinity chromatography.

Abstract
A recombinant human antibody (IgG(1)-subtype) was produced in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. Alternatives to the established isolation by Protein A affinity chromatography were investigated. Neither an alternative elution agent (Arginine) nor an alternative affinity ligand (Protein G) resulted in an improvement in yield and/or purity. Subsequently, apatite stationary phases including a novel ceramic fluoroapatite material were tested. By applying a double gradient (first 0 to 1M NaCl, then 0.01 to 0.4M phosphate) the culture supernatant was separated into three fractions: the flow through, which contained no active antibody, the NaCl-eluate, which contained the antibody and no other discernible protein contaminants, and a fraction that eluted in the phosphate gradient and contained several proteins, but no active antibody. In case of the hydroxyapatite, retention of the antibody decreased and yield increased when the pH was raised from 6.0 to 8.2 (isoelectric point (pI) of the antibody: 8.3), to reach a yield of 71% at pH of 8.2. In case of the fluoroapatite, retention was also found to increase with increasing mobile phase pH, but the yields went through a maximum (of ca. 90%) at a mobile phase pH of 7.0. No traces of contaminants were seen in the corresponding gel. This is the first time that yields of 90% and such high purities have been reported as the result of a single chromatographic step for the antibody in question with either (Protein A) affinity or apatite chromatography.

Abstract
Continuous matrix assisted refolding (MAR) can be achieved on a solid support by using a continuous chromatographic system. Recycling the aggregate fraction, simultaneously formed during a refolding reaction, can further increase the refolding yield. Due to the nature of this reaction, aggregates are the main reason for a refolding yield below stoichiometric conversion. A preparative continuous annular chromatographic system (P-CAC) equipped with an ion exchange resin was used to continuously refold the model protein alpha-lactalbumin. For this purpose, this protein was denatured, reduced and adsorbed on the ion exchange resin. Elution was performed with or without redox reagents in the buffer system permitting fast formation of the native disulfide bonds. In the case redox reagents were present, the protein refolds then during its residence time on the matrix. However, aggregate formation is also increased and refolding yields are lower. Tightly bound aggregates were removed from the column by 2M guanidinium hydrochloride. In order to increase the system yield, this aggregate fraction was recycled after lowering the conductivity by ultradiafiltration and adjustment of the protein concentration by dilution. For on-column refolding, recycling of aggregates at a recycling rate of 0.17 increased the system yield from 25% to 30%. An algorithm was developed to show interdependencies of the single influencing parameters. The operability of the system was demonstrated but limitations due to instability of the P-CAC, especially inhomogeneous flow and peak wobbling, have to be considered.

Abstract
Nanophased porous hydroxyapatite beads with particle diameters of 25 microm and 30 microm intended for use in protein and biomolecule separation are characterized with respect to chromatographic characteristics. These particles were produced from a hydroxyapatite gel by a controlled spray process yielding microspheres containing hydroxyapatite nanocrystals. By calcification of the microspheres, nanophased porous hydroxyapatite beads were obtained. As a reference material, ceramic hydroxyapatite Types I and II with a particle diameter of 40 microm was chosen. SEM pictures show that the surface of the nanophased hydroxyapatite is very rough compared to ceramic hydroxyapatite Types I and Type II. The calcium-to-phosphorous ratio of this nanophased hydroxyapatite is 1.6, which is slightly below the theoretical ratio of 1.67 of pure hydroxyapatite. The porosity is greater than 60%. An IgG binding capacity of 60.7 mg/ml for Bio-Rad Type I and 36.0 mg/ml for Type II, 42.0 mg/ml for the nanophased material with 25 microm and 19.7 mg/ml for the nanophased material with 30 microm were observed. The nanophased material with 30 microm had the lowest mass transfer resistancy as indicated by the dependency of the dynamic binding capacity on velocity. It is assumed that the mass transport properties are characterized by a low particle diffusion resistancy or by slight intraparticle convection. The material also showed high selectivity for IgG. When culture supernatant with 5% FCS containing 3 mg/ml was loaded, pure IgG could be eluted by linear gradient with increasing sodium phosphate concentration. This nanophased material comprises a novel stationary phase for IgG separation.

Abstract
The principle of continuous annular chromatography (CAC) has been known for several decades. CAC is a continuous chromatographic mode, which lends itself to the separation of multi-component mixtures as well as of bi-component ones. In CAC, the mobile and stationary phases move in a crosscurrent fashion, which allows transformation of the typical one-dimensional batch column separation into a continuous two-dimensional one. With the exception of linear gradient elution, all chromatographic modes have at present been applied in CAC. This review focuses on the capacity of CAC for preparative bioseparation. The historical developments and the predecessors of modern CAC are briefly summarized. The state-of-the-art in the theoretical prediction and simulation of CAC separations is discussed, followed by an overview of current CAC instrumentation and example applications, especially for the isolation of proteins and other bio(macro)molecules. In this context, issues of scale up as well as method development and transfer from batch to continuous CAC columns are discussed using recent bioseparation efforts as pertinent examples.

Abstract
Isolation of recombinant protein drugs from cell culture supernatant is usually performed in batch mode, even if the fermentation process itself is continuous. As a novel approach, continuous separation techniques like continuous annular chromatography (CAC) can be used for continuous isolation. The potential of CAC for industrial application is demonstrated by continuous isolation of rFVIII from cell culture supernatant in pilot scale (i.e., 144-288 l/day). Thirty-fold concentration can be achieved at 94% yield, while purity is increased 3-5-fold. For this a batch direct feed ion exchange chromatography method was adapted to a commercial preparative CAC system (P-CAC). A headspace loading technique was used to maximize the concentration factor, while buffer incompatibility problems were addressed by a specifically modified inlet geometry. To allow sterile on-line coupling to FVIII-producing perfusion fermenters, an autoclavable pilot scale P-CAC prototype was developed. General characterization of P-CAC revealed a current limitation of the technology, i.e., variations in the outlet flow rates of up to +/-20%. These flow variations are shown to be caused mainly by a nonuniform annular resin bed and in turn result in "peak wobbling," i.e., the slight variation of peak position (up to +/-4 degrees ) and shape (e.g., A(s) = 0.9-1.4) as a specific function of column position. Some additional peak broadening, although less significant, is caused by a "peak oscillation" effect that results from the necessary segmentation of flow into discrete outlets. Both effects are only measurable if peaks are either monitored continuously or at least measured at multiple column positions. For isolation processes, these nonideal flow phenomena mean that more outlet streams have to be collected in order to achieve maximum yield and thus the achievable concentration factor is somewhat lower than the theoretical maximum.

Abstract
Preparative continuous annular chromatography, a method to separate proteins in a truly continuous manner, was investigated in an industrial environment. Plasma-derived clotting factor IX concentrate was used as model protein. Separation of vitronectin, a common impurity in commercial available factor IX concentrates, from factor IX was studied and compared to conventional packed bed chromatography in batch mode. As sorbent, Toyopearl DEAE 650M was used. Regeneration was performed simultaneously with the purification of factor IX in continuous mode. All required parameters applied for preparative annular chromatography such as feed flow-rate and elution flow-rate were first estimated from experiments on conventional batch columns. Then preparative annular chromatography and conventional packed beds were compared regarding enrichment, purity and productivity. Three different process scenarios, the optimal batch process,the preparative annular chromatography process and the batch process equivalent to the preparative annular chromatography process were investigated. The productivity of the optimal batch process was higher than that of the preparative annular chromatography and batch process equivalent to the preparative annular chromatography process. Therefore the throughput could not be increased by the use of the continuous chromatographic system.

Abstract
Fructans (fructo-oligosaccharides and inulin) are of increasing physiological and nutritional interest due to their health-promoting effects. Fructans originally extracted from chicory roots were separated by continuous annular and fixed-bed conventional gel chromatography. Both columns were packed with Toyopearl HW 40 (S) and eluted with deionized water. A multicomponent fractionation was established to obtain single oligosaccharides in a low molecular weight range up to a chain length of five and fractions containing an overall size distribution in the high molecular weight range up to a chain length of 90 monosaccharide units. The productivity and resolution of the continuous annular size exclusion chromatograph (40 cm bed height) were investigated and compared with those of the fixed-bed counterpart (2 x 100 cm bed height). The eluting fractions were analyzed by high-pH anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD). The productivity of the annular system was found to be 25-fold higher than the conventional system. Thus, annular chromatography exemplified for the fractionation of fructans is a powerful method for the large-scale and continuous fractionation of oligomeric and polymeric carbohydrates.

Abstract
In recent years the demand for process scale chromatography systems in the industrial downstream process has been increasing steadily. Chromatography seems to be the method of choice when biological active compounds must be recovered from a mixture containing dozens of side products and contaminants as it is for example the case when processing fermentation broths. Since chromatography can solve almost any separation problem under mild operating conditions, a continuous chromatography system represents an extremely attractive and powerful option for such large-scale applications. The increasing number of biotechnological products forces system suppliers of the downstream processing side to develop new and improved high throughput purification technologies. Continuous Annular Chromatography (CAC) has been shown to be the only continuous chromatography technique to fulfill the high demands raised by modern biotechnological productions. In recent years Prior Separation Technology has transferred the principle of Continuous annular chromatography from the research laboratories to the fully developed industrial downstream process scale. The technology is now called Preparative Continuous Annular Chromatography--P-CAC. It can be placed at any stage in the downstream line starting at the very early stages where capturing and concentration of the desired product is required down to the polishing steps, which assure a sufficient final purity of the end product.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS) is one of the most powerful instrumental techniques for protein analysis. The electrospray ionization (ESI) approach is known to be very gentle and at the same time compatible with liquid separation techniques such as HPLC and CE. However, ESI is known to be susceptible to salts and impurities, which often cause a dramatic decrease in sensitivity due to the suppression of the ionization of the product of interest. For this reason, LC-ESI-MS coupling has so far been largely limited to reversed-phase chromatography with its hydro-organic mobile phases. Other chromatographic techniques are typically "linked" to ESI-MS by time consuming, off-line desalting steps. On-line microdialysis has been proposed as a solution to this dilemma. In this paper, we introduce an improved microdialysis system, which enlarges the number of putative applications, thus allowing chromatographic separations of biological compounds to be directly coupled to MS detection with little to no loss in time or chromatographic resolution. Examples include separations by affinity, ion-exchange and size-exclusion chromatography, all of which were connected successfully to the ESI-MS detector via the on-line microdialyzer. We propose that, using this system, any kind of chromatography technique can be coupled to ESI-MS, thus enabling for example application in quality control or process monitoring of many bioproduction and downstream processes.

Abstract
Continuous chromatographic separations, especially of multicomponent mixtures, constitute interesting options for biotechnological downstream processing. Taking the separation of plasmid DNA from clearified lysates on hydroxyapatite as a pertinent example, we discuss the potential of continuous annular chromatography (CAC) in comparison with conventional (preparative) batch chromatography. In CAC the column is realized in the form of a thin (5 mm, height 210 mm) slowly rotating annulus. The performance of such a CAC column is compared to that of an ("analytical") batch column of similar thickness (diameter) and length (4 x 250 mm) and that of a ("preparative") batch column of similar cross-sectional surface area and height (50 x 210 mm). The quality of the obtained plasmid as defined by the appearance of the corresponding agarose gels (native and linearized plasmid), the 260/280 ratio and the biological activity (transient transfection of HEK 293 cells) was found to be identical in all three cases. The yields are also shown to be equivalent. The loading factor is found to be the most decisive parameter for the transfer of a given separation method between the continuous and the batch columns. Under nonoptimized conditions, plate numbers tended to be lower in the continuous compared to the batch columns. This is shown to be largely due to an artifact created by the CAC design (collection of averaged fractions at the outlets) and can be overcome by optimizing the rotation speed. Surprisingly the large batch column consistently gave better plate numbers than either the small batch or the CAC column. Compared to the preparative batch column, wall effects are more pronounced in the CAC (respectively the small diameter batch column), which may translate into better bed stability but conceivably also contributes to an increase in plate height, due to the reduction in bed density usually observed in the proximity of the wall. The CAC is shown to be a powerful approach to continuous chromatography, which allows a direct and straightforward upscale of chromatographic bioseparation methods.
