Abstract
Elucidation of intraparticle mass transfer mechanisms in protein chromatography is essential for process design. This study investigates the differences of adsorption and diffusion parameters of basic human fibroblast factor 2 (hFGF2) in a simple (purified) and a complex (clarified homogenate) feed solution on the grafted agarose-based strong cation exchanger Capto S. Microscopic investigations using confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed slower intraparticle diffusion of hFGF2 in the clarified homogenate compared to purified hFGF2. Diffusive adsorption fronts indicated a strong contribution of solid diffusion to the overall mass transfer flux. Protein adsorption methods such as batch uptake and shallow bed as well as breakthrough curve experiments confirmed a 40-fold reduction of the mass transfer flux for hFGF2 in the homogenate compared to pure hFGF2. The slower mass transfer was induced by components of the clarified homogenate. Essentially, the increased dynamic viscosity caused by a higher concentration of dsDNA and membrane lipids in the clarified homogenate contributed to this decrease in mass transfer. Moreover, binding capacity for hFGF2 was much lower in the clarified homogenate and substantially decreased the adsorbed phase driving force for mass transfer.

Abstract
In this study, a simple analytical procedure for determining the adsorption kinetic parameters Ds and kF from a single concentration history (decay curve) in circulate-type fixed-bed reactor test method was investigated. A simple and reliable method to obtain the parameters Ds and kF from the decay curve of circulate-type fixed-bed reactor was developed based on an advanced analytical method for the completely mixed batch reactor test method. The experimental conditions in the circulate-type fixed-bed reactor method that meet the application criteria of the advanced analytical method for the completely mixed batch reactor test method were investigated based on the theoretical decay curves of the test methods. Experimental conditions, such as large liquid–solid ratio Zϕ, short contact time z/u, and small bed height Z, which make the decay behaviors in the circulate-type fixed-bed reactor close to those of the completely mixed batch reactor, were evaluated quantitatively on theoretical basis. Furthermore, the reliability of the adsorption kinetic parameters obtained in this study was verified by comparing the kF values with those from a reported empirical correlation equation for kF.

Abstract
Automated microscale chromatography using pipette tips packed with microliters of resin is seen as an increasingly attractive option for high-throughput screening of purification conditions during early phase biopharmaceutical development. Two types of data that can be produced by these studies are uptake curves and isotherms, providing valuable fundamental separation data to assist with the prediction of larger-scale performance. This chapter will describe an operating protocol for this type of experiment using the example of ovine polyclonal antibodies binding to a multimodal weak cation exchange resin.

Abstract
We describe a method to measure protein mass transfer kinetics in ion exchange adsorbents for preparative chromatography based on the use of radioactively labeled protein. The method was developed and evaluated using lysozyme as a test protein with the three commercial strong-acid cation exchangers SP-Sepharose-FF, SP-Sepharose-XL, and S-HyperD. Iodination with 125I was used to label the protein, which was added in trace amounts (approximately 0.1%) to an unlabeled protein solution. The solution was recirculated through a shallow bed of the adsorbent particles and the radioactivity accumulated in the bed measured with a gamma-counter as a function of time. Radiotracer-based kinetics measurements were found to be in good agreement with results obtained with a conventional shallow-bed technique, provided that freshly labeled protein solutions were used. The method has advantages in terms of simplicity, ability to deal with adsorption from complex mixtures, and the potential for measurements under tracer diffusion conditions. Kinetics results obtained for the three different stationary phases were generally consistent with previous studies. Protein mass transfer can be described by a pore diffusion model with a nearly salt-independent pore diffusivity for SP-Sepharose-FF and by a homogeneous diffusion model with a saltindependent adsorbed phase diffusivity for S-HyperD. However, it appears that a more complex model, accounting for parallel pore and surface diffusion, is needed to describe protein mass transfer in SP-Sepharose-XL. The modeling results were found to be correlated with the apparent pore sizes determined by inverse SEC.
