Highly selective split intein method for efficient separation and purification of recombinant therapeutic proteins from mammalian cell culture fluid. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1736:465430. [PMID: 39405639 PMCID: PMC11533640 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.465430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2024] [Revised: 10/05/2024] [Accepted: 10/07/2024] [Indexed: 10/22/2024]
Abstract
Biologics and vaccines have been successfully developed over the last few decades to treat many diseases. Each of these drugs must be highly purified for clinical use. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), the dominant therapeutic modality on the market, can be easily purified using the standard Protein A affinity platform. However, no generally applicable affinity platforms are available for the manufacture of other therapeutic proteins for clinical use. Thus, multicolumn chromatography processes for widely being used for product purification. These processes demand significant optimization to meet desired product quality attributes, where each step also decreases final yields. In this work, we demonstrate the novel self-removing iCapTag™ affinity tag, which provides a new platform for capturing, concentrating, and purifying recombinant proteins. Importantly, this system provides a tagless target protein, which is suitable for research and clinical use, where the only requirement for tag removal is a small change in buffer pH. No additional proteins, reagents or cofactors are required. We also present case studies demonstrating the use of iCapTag™ for highly efficient purification of untagged interferon alpha 2b, the ML39 single chain variable fragment (scFv), and the receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. These proteins were expressed and secreted by Expi293 cells with the self-removing tag fused to their N-terminus. We were able to obtain highly pure (> 99 %) tagless protein in a single purification step with high clearance of host cell DNA, tagged precursor, higher and lower molecular weight impurities. Based on these preliminary results, we propose the iCapTag™ as a universal capture platform for diverse classes of recombinant therapeutic proteins.

Yang YX, Lin ZY, Chen YC, Yao SJ, Lin DQ. Modeling multi-component separation in hydrophobic interaction chromatography with improved parameter-by-parameter estimation method. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1730:465121. [PMID: 38959659 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.465121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
Mechanistic models are powerful tools for chromatographic process development and optimization. However, hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) mechanistic models lack an effective and logical parameter estimation method, especially for multi-component system. In this study, a parameter-by-parameter method for multi-component system (called as mPbP-HIC) was derived based on the retention mechanism to estimate the six parameters of the Mollerup isotherm for HIC. The linear parameters (ks,i and keq,i) and nonlinear parameters (ni and qmax,i) of the isotherm can be estimated by the linear regression (LR) and the linear approximation (LA) steps, respectively. The remaining two parameters (kp,i and kkin,i) are obtained by the inverse method (IM). The proposed method was verified with a two-component model system. The results showed that the model could accurately predict the protein elution at a loading of 10 g/L. However, the elution curve fitting was unsatisfactory for high loadings (12 g/L and 14 g/L), which is mainly attributed to the demanding experimental conditions of the LA step and the potential large estimation error of the parameter qmax. Therefore, the inverse method was introduced to further calibrate the parameter qmax, thereby reducing the estimation error and improving the curve fitting. Moreover, the simplified linear approximation (SLA) was proposed by reasonable assumption, which provides the initial guess of qmax without solving any complex matrix and avoids the problem of matrix unsolvable. In the improved mPbP-HIC method, qmax would be initialized by the SLA and finally determined by the inverse method, and this strategy was named as SLA+IM. The experimental validation showed that the improved mPbP-HIC method has a better curve fitting, and the use of SLA+IM reduces the error accumulation effect. In process optimization, the parameters estimated by the improved mPbP-HIC method provided the model with excellent predictive ability and reasonable extrapolation. In conclusion, the SLA+IM strategy makes the improved mPbP-HIC method more rational and can be easily applied to the practical separation of protein mixture, which would accelerate the process development for HIC in downstream of biopharmaceuticals.

Abstract
The monoclonal antibody (mAb) industry is becoming increasingly digitalized. Digital twins are becoming increasingly important to test or validate processes before manufacturing. High-Throughput Process Development (HTPD) has been progressively used as a tool for process development and innovation. The combination of High-Throughput Screening with fast computational methods allows to study processes in-silico in a fast and efficient manner. This paper presents a hybrid approach for HTPD where equal importance is given to experimental, computational and decision-making stages. Equilibrium adsorption isotherms of 13 protein A and 16 Cation-Exchange resins were determined with pure mAb. The influence of other components in the clarified cell culture supernatant (harvest) has been under-investigated. This work contributes with a methodology for the study of equilibrium adsorption of mAb in harvest to different protein A resins and compares the adsorption behavior with the pure sample experiments. Column chromatography was modelled using a Lumped Kinetic Model, with an overall mass transfer coefficient parameter (kov). The screening results showed that the harvest solution had virtually no influence on the adsorption behavior of mAb to the different protein A resins tested. kov was found to have a linear correlation with the sample feed concentration, which is in line with mass transfer theory. The hybrid approach for HTPD presented highlights the roles of the computational, experimental, and decision-making stages in process development, and how it can be implemented to develop a chromatographic process. The proposed white-box digital twin helps to accelerate chromatographic process development.

J Chromatogr A 2023; 1687:463655.

Abstract
Mechanistic models play a crucial role in the process development and optimization of ion-exchange chromatography (IEC). Recent researches in steric mass action (SMA) model have heightened the need for better estimation of nonlinear parameter, steric shielding factor σ. In this work, a straightforward approach combination of simplified linear approximation (SLA) and inverse method (IM) was proposed to initialize and further determine σ, respectively. An existed, unique, and positive σ can be derived from SLA. Compared with linear approximation (LA) developed in our previous study, σ of the multi-component system can be calculated easily without solving the complex system of linear equations, leading to a time complexity reduction from O(n3) to O(n). The proposed method was verified first in numerical experiments about the separation of three charge variants. The calculated σ was more reasonable than that of LA, and the error of elution profiles with the parameters estimated by SLA+IM was only one-sixth of that by LA in numerical experiments. Moreover, the error accumulation effect could also be reduced. The proposed method was further confirmed in real-world experiments about the separation of monomer-dimer mixtures of monoclonal antibody. The results gave a lower error and better physical understanding compared to LA. In conclusion, SLA+IM developed in the present work provides a novel and straightforward way to determine σ. This simplification would help to save the effort of calibration experiments and accelerate the process development for the multi-component IEC separation.

Abstract
Nanofibrous materials are considered as promising candidates for fabricating high-efficiency chromatography media, which are urgently needed in protein pharmaceuticals purification and biological research, yet still face several bottlenecks. Herein, novel negatively charged composite nanofibrous hydrogel membranes (NHMs) are obtained by a facile combination of electrospinning and surface coating modification. The resulting NHMs exhibit controllable morphologies and chemical structures. Benefitting from the combined effect of the stable framework of silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanofiber and the function layer of negatively charged hydrogel, as well as good pore connectivity among nanofibers, NHMs exhibit a high protein adsorption capacity of around 1000 mg g-1, and are superior to the commercial cellulose fibrous adsorbent (Sartobind®) and the reported nanofibrous membranous adsorbents. Moreover, due to their relatively stable physicochemical and mechanical properties, NHMs possess comprehensive adsorption performance, favorable resistance to acid and solvents, good selectivity, and excellent regenerability. The designed NHMs composite adsorbents are expected to supply a new protein chromatography platform for effective protein purification in biopharmaceuticals and biochemical reagents.

Abstract
Ion exchange chromatography (IEC) is one of the most widely-used techniques for protein separation and has been characterized by mechanistic models. However, the time-consuming and cumbersome model calibration hinders the application of mechanistic models for process development. A new methodology called "parameter-by-parameter method (PbP)" was proposed with mechanistic derivations of the steric mass action (SMA) model of IEC. The protocol includes four steps: (1) first linear regression (LR1) for characteristic charge; (2) second linear regression (LR2) for equilibrium coefficient; (3) linear approximation (LA) for shielding factor; (4) inverse method (IM) for kinetic coefficient. Four SMA parameters could be one-by-one determined in sequence, reducing the number of unknown parameters per species from four to one, and predicting almost consistent retention. Numerical single-component experiments were investigated firstly, and the PbP method showed excellent agreement between experiments and simulations. The effects of loadings on the PbP and Yamamoto methods were compared. It was found that the PbP method had higher accuracy and robustness than the Yamamoto method. Moreover, a five-experiment strategy was suggested to implement the PbP method, which is straightforward to reduce the cost of calibration experiments. Finally, a real-world multi-component separation was challenged and further confirmed the feasibility of the PbP method. In general, the proposed method can not only reliably estimate the SMA parameters with comprehensive physical understanding but also accurately predict retention over a wide range of loading conditions.

Abstract
Plants are advantageous as biopharmaceutical manufacturing platforms because they allow the economical and scalable upstream production of proteins, including those requiring post-translational modifications, but do not support the replication of human viruses. However, downstream processing can be more labor-intensive compared to fermenter-based systems because the product is often mixed with abundant host cell proteins (HCPs). Modeling chromatographic separation can minimize the number of process development experiments and thus reduce costs. An important part of such modeling is the sorption isotherm, such as the steric mass action (SMA) model, which describes the multicomponent protein-salt equilibria established in ion-exchange systems. Here we purified ten HCPs, including 2-Cys-peroxiredoxin, from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum and N. benthamiana). For eight of these HCPs, we obtained sufficient quantities to determine the SMA binding parameters (KSMA and ν) under different production-relevant conditions. We studied the parameters for 2-Cys-peroxiredoxin on Q-Sepharose HP in detail, revealing that pH, resin batch and buffer batch had little influence on KSMA and ν, with coefficients of variation (COVs) less than 0.05 and 0.21, respectively. In contrast, the anion-exchange resins SuperQ-650S, Q-Sepharose FF and QAE-550C led to COVs of 0.69 for KSMA and 0.05 for ν, despite using the same quaternary amine functional group as Q-Sepharose HP. Plant cultivation in summer vs winter resulted in COVs of 0.09 for KSMA and 0.02 for ν, revealing a small impact compared to COVs of 17.15 for KSMA and 0.20 for ν when plants were grown in different settings (climate-controlled phytotron vs greenhouse). We conclude that plant cultivation can substantially affect protein properties and the resulting SMA parameters. Accordingly, plant growth but also protein purification and characterization for chromatography model building should be tightly controlled and well documented.

Abstract
Development of affordable and low carbon biobased manufacturing depends critically on strategies that reduce cost and emission profiles. This paper indicates that efforts around the reduction of capital costs by intensification of process equipment need to be carefully weighed against the inherently fast increasing financial and climate costs of driving forces used for the intensification. The fundamental relation between capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operational expenditures (OPEX) of intensified and non-intensified biobased processes and their financial and climatic impacts are emphasized and provisionally explored for a few industrial processes. General learnings flag the importance in particular of OPEX minimisation for sustainable bio-economic development.

Abstract
Affinity adsorbents have been the cornerstone in protein purification. The selective nature of the molecular recognition interactions established between an affinity ligands and its target provide the basis for efficient capture and isolation of proteins. The plethora of affinity adsorbents available in the market reflects the importance of affinity chromatography in the bioseparation industry. Ligand discovery relies on the implementation of rational design techniques, which provides the foundation for the engineering of novel affinity ligands. The main goal for the design of affinity ligands is to discover or improve functionality, such as increased stability or selectivity. However, the methodologies must adapt to the current needs, namely to the number and diversity of biologicals being developed, and the availability of new tools for big data analysis and artificial intelligence. In this review, we offer an overview on the development of affinity ligands for bioseparation, including the evolution of rational design techniques, dating back to the years of early discovery up to the current and future trends in the field.

Abstract
Developing nanofibrous aerogels with high porosity, robust underwater mechanical strength, and rich adsorption ligands, has been considered as one of the most promising strategies for preparing the next generation of high-efficiency and high-throughput chromatographic media; yet great challenges still remain. Herein, a novel type of highly phosphorylated nanofibrous aerogels (PNFAs) is fabricated, for the first time, by combining electrospinning, cryogenic induced phase separation regulation, and in situ phosphorylation modification. The PNFAs exhibit outstanding underwater superelasticity and excellent compression fatigue resistance (∼0% plastic deformation after 1000 compression cycles), as well as favorable shape-memory property. Besides, the PNFAs also can be bent and compressed even in the ultracold liquid nitrogen without obvious plastic deformation, further highlighting their robust structural stability. Benefiting from the superelastic, interconnected, and highly phosphorylated 3D nanofibrous frameworks, the PNFAs possess a superb protein adsorption capability of 3.3 × 103 mg g-1 and a large liquid flux of 1.5 × 104 L m-2 h-1, which are superior to the commercial and previously reported fiber-based chromatographic media. Moreover, the PNFAs also exhibit superior performance stability, easy assembly, and outstanding applicability, highlighting their potential actual application. The successful preparation of such fascinating PNFAs may not only provide a new option for the current protein adsorption and purification engineering, but also could open up some new perspectives for further design and development of next-generation nanofibrous aerogel-based chromatographic media for various bioseparation applications.

Abstract
With continued development of integrated and continuous downstream purification processes, tuning and optimization become increasingly complicated with additional parameters and codependent variables over the sequence. This article offers a novel perspective of nonlinear optimization of integrated sequences with regard to individual column sizes, flow rates, and scheduling. The problem setup itself is a versatile tool to be used in downstream design which is demonstrated in two case studies: a four‐column integrated sequence and a continuously loaded twin‐capture setup with five columns.

Abstract
The objective of this study is the determination of the chemical structure of nine phenolic molecules responsible for the phytotoxic action on the germination of the plant species "Trigonella foenum-graecum". The phytotoxic action was evaluated by calculating the germination index of the plant species for a period of 5 days of incubation. The analysis of the physicochemical properties of phenolic molecules shows that hydrophobicity is a key factor in phytotoxicity. The sublethal concentration varies as follows: hydroquinone (0.91 mM), 4-aminophenol (0.85 mM), phenol (0.75 mM), gallic acid (0.59 mM), caffeic acid (0.56 mM), 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (0,45 mM), quercetin (0.33 mM), oleuropein (0.3 mM), and catechol (0.13 mM). Phytotoxicity varies depending on the nature and position of the substituents on the aromatic ring. The reactivity of this type of molecule is partly linked to the presence of catechol function that can play the main role in phytotoxicity of the Fenugreek.

Abstract
Increased pressure on upstream processes to maximize productivity has been crowned with great success, although at the cost of shifting the bottleneck to purification. As drivers were economical, focus is on now on debottlenecking downstream processes as the main drivers of high manufacturing cost. Devising a holistically efficient and economical process remains a key challenge. Traditional and emerging protein purification strategies with particular emphasis on methodologies implemented for the production of recombinant proteins of biopharmaceutical importance are reviewed. The breadth of innovation is addressed, as well as the challenges the industry faces today, with an eye to remaining impartial, fair, and balanced. In addition, the scope encompasses both chromatographic and non-chromatographic separations directed at the purification of proteins, with a strong emphasis on antibodies. Complete solutions such as integrated USP/DSP strategies (i.e., continuous processing) are discussed as well as gains in data quantity and quality arising from automation and high-throughput screening (HTS). Best practices and advantages through design of experiments (DOE) to access a complex design space such as multi-modal chromatography are reviewed with an outlook on potential future trends. A discussion of single-use technology, its impact and opportunities for further growth, and the exciting developments in modeling and simulation of DSP rounds out the overview. Lastly, emerging trends such as 3D printing and nanotechnology are covered. Graphical Abstract Workflow of high-throughput screening, design of experiments, and high-throughput analytics to understand design space and design space boundaries quickly.

Abstract
Chromatography remains the workhorse in antibody purification; however process development and characterisation still require significant resources. The high number of operating parameters involved requires extensive experimentation, traditionally performed at small- and pilot-scale, leading to demands in terms of materials and time that can be a challenge. The main objective of this research was the establishment of a novel High Throughput Process Development (HTPD) workflow combining scale-down chromatography experimentation with advanced decision-support techniques in order to minimise the consumption of resources and accelerate the development timeframe. Additionally, the HTPD workflow provides a framework to rapidly manipulate large datasets in an automated fashion. The central component of the HTPD workflow is the systematic integration of a microscale chromatography experimentation strategy with an advanced chromatogram evaluation method, design of experiments (DoE) and multivariate data analysis. The outputs of this are leveraged into the screening and optimisation components of the workflow. For the screening component, a decision-support tool was developed combining different multi-criteria decision-making techniques to enable a fair comparison of a number of CEX resin candidates and determine those that demonstrate superior purification performance. This provided a rational methodology for screening chromatography resins and process parameters. For the optimisation component, the workflow leverages insights provided through screening experimentation to guide subsequent DoE experiments so as to tune significant process parameters for the selected resin. The resulting empirical correlations are linked to a stochastic modelling technique so as to predict the optimal and most robust chromatographic process parameters to achieve the desired performance criteria.

Abstract
Innovative biologics, including cell therapeutics, virus-like particles, exosomes,recombinant proteins, and peptides, seem likely to substitute monoclonal antibodies as the maintherapeutic entities in manufacturing over the next decades. This molecular variety causes agrowing need for a general change of methods as well as mindset in the process development stage,as there are no platform processes available such as those for monoclonal antibodies. Moreover,market competitiveness demands hyper-intensified processes, including accelerated decisionstoward batch or continuous operation of dedicated modular plant concepts. This indicates gaps inprocess comprehension, when operation windows need to be run at the edges of optimization. Inthis editorial, the authors review and assess potential methods and begin discussing possiblesolutions throughout the workflow, from process development through piloting to manufacturingoperation from their point of view and experience. Especially, the state-of-the-art for modeling inred biotechnology is assessed, clarifying differences and applications of statistical, rigorousphysical-chemical based models as well as cost modeling. “Digital-twins” are described and effortsvs. benefits for new applications exemplified, including the regulation-demanded QbD (quality bydesign) and PAT (process analytical technology) approaches towards digitalization or industry 4.0based on advanced process control strategies. Finally, an analysis of the obstacles and possiblesolutions for any successful and efficient industrialization of innovative methods from processdevelopment, through piloting to manufacturing, results in some recommendations. A centralquestion therefore requires attention: Considering that QbD and PAT have been required byauthorities since 2004, can any biologic manufacturing process be approved by the regulatoryagencies without being modeled by a “digital-twin” as part of the filing documentation?

Abstract
Spider silks are attractive biopolymers due to their excellent mechanical properties and biomimetic potential. To optimize the electrostatic interaction for lysosomal drug delivery, a spider-eggcase-silk protein was genetically engineered using 5× His Tag with a tailor-made isoelectric point of 4.8. By a facile HFIP-on-oil method, silk spheres were assembled as rapidly as 10 s. After the post-treatment of ethanol, silk spheres were determined with an improved compressive modulus by AFM indentation. Under incubation of silk spheres in a Doxorubicin solution, a maximum of 35% loading and average of 30% loading efficiency were determined. In the cytotoxicity experiment, silk spheres exhibited intrinsic biocompatibility and showed good control of the loaded drug in the neutral PBS solution. Significantly, by 96 h, the accumulative drug release at pH 4.5 was approximately 4.5-fold higher than that at pH 7.4. By conducting the platelet adhesion and hemolysis assay, Doxorubicin-loaded silk spheres exhibited good hemocompatibility. To further demonstrate this release behavior, within 24 h, Doxorubicin-loaded silk spheres were efficiently delivered to lysosomes and then released the payload to the nuclei of Hela cells. Recombinant spider-eggcase-silk spheres are facilely prepared as drug carriers with a tailor-made isoelectric point specifically for lysosomal delivery.![]()

Abstract
Downstream processing remains one of the biggest challenges in manufacturing of biologicals and vaccines. This work focuses on a Design of Experiments approach to understand factors influencing the performance of sulfated cellulose membrane adsorbers for the chromatographic purification of a cell culture-derived H1N1 influenza virus strain (A/Puerto Rico/8/34). Membranes with a medium ligand density together with low conductivity and a high virus titer in the feed stream resulted in optimum virus yields and low protein and DNA content in the product fraction. Flow rate and salt concentration in the buffer used for elution were of secondary importance while membrane permeability had no significant impact on separation performance. A virus loss of 2.1% in the flow through, a yield of 57.4% together with a contamination level of 5.1 pgDNA HAU-1 and 1.2 ngprot HAU-1 were experimentally confirmed for the optimal operating point predicted. The critical process parameters identified and their optimal settings should support the optimization of sulfated cellulose membrane adsorbers based purification trains for other influenza virus strains, streamlining cell culture-derived vaccine manufacturing.

Abstract
Mechanistic models are successfully used for protein purification process development as shown for ion-exchange column chromatography (IEX). Modeling and simulation of hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) in the column mode has been seldom reported. As a combination of these two techniques is often encountered in biopharmaceutical purification steps, accurate modeling of protein adsorption in HIC is a core issue for applying holistic model-based process development, especially in the light of the Quality by Design (QbD) approach. In this work, a new mechanistic isotherm model for HIC is derived by consideration of an equilibrium between well-ordered water molecules and bulk-like ordered water molecules on the hydrophobic surfaces of protein and ligand. The model's capability of describing column chromatography experiments is demonstrated with glucose oxidase, bovine serum albumin (BSA), and lysozyme on Capto™ Phenyl (high sub) as model system. After model calibration from chromatograms of bind-and-elute experiments, results were validated with batch isotherms and prediction of further gradient elution chromatograms.

Abstract
The biopharmaceutical industry is at a turning point moving toward a more customized and patient-oriented medicine (precision medicine). Straightforward routines such as the antibody platform process are extended to production processes for a new portfolio of molecules. As a consequence, individual and tailored productions require generic approaches for a fast and dedicated purification process development. In this article, different effective strategies in biopharmaceutical purification process development are reviewed that can analogously be used for the new generation of antibodies. Conventional approaches based on heuristics and high-throughput process development are discussed and compared to modern technologies such as multivariate calibration and mechanistic modeling tools. Such approaches constitute a good foundation for fast and effective process development for new products and processes, but their full potential becomes obvious in a correlated combination. Thus, different combinatorial approaches are presented, which might become future directions in the biopharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
Fabricating protein adsorbents with high adsorption capacity and appreciable throughput is extremely important and highly desired for the separation and purification of protein products in the biomedical and pharmaceutical industries, yet still remains a great challenge. Herein, we demonstrate the synthesis of a novel protein adsorbent by in situ functionalizing eletrospun ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH) nanofibrous membranes (NFM) with critic acid (CCA). Taking advantage of the merits of large specific surface area, highly tortuous open-porous structure, abundant active carboxyl groups introduced by CCA, superior chemical stability, and robust mechanical strength, the obtained CCA-grafted EVOH NFM (EVOH-CCA NFM) present an excellent integrated protein (take lysozyme as the model protein) adsorption performance with a high capacity of 284 mg g(-1), short equilibrium time of 6 h, ease of elution, and good reusability. Meanwhile, the adsorption performance of EVOH-CCA NFM can be optimized by regulating buffer pH, ionic strength, and initial concentration of protein solutions. More importantly, a dynamic binding efficiency of 250 mg g(-1) can be achieved driven solely by the gravity of protein solution, which matches well with the demands of the high yield and energy conservation in the actual protein purification process. Furthermore, the resultant EVOH-CCA NFM also possess unique selectivity for positively charged proteins which was confirmed by the method of sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Significantly, the successful synthesis of such intriguing and economic EVOH-CCA NFM may provide a promising candidate for the next generation of protein adsorbents for rapid, massive, and cost-effective separation and purification of proteins.

Abstract
Within the Quality by Design (QbD) framework proposed by the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH), high-throughput process development (HTPD) and mechanistic modeling are of outstanding importance for future biopharmaceutical chromatography process development. In order to compare the data derived from different column scales or batch chromatographies, the amount of adsorber has to be quantified with the same noninvasive method. Similarly, an important requirement for the implementation of mechanistic modeling is the reliable determination of column characteristics such as the ionic capacity Λ for ion-exchange chromatography with the same method at all scales and formats. We developed a method to determine the ionic capacity in column and batch chromatography, based on the adsorption/desorption of the natural, uv-detectable amino acid histidine. In column chromatography, this method produces results comparable to those of classical acid-base titration. In contrast to acid-base titration, this method can be adapted to robotic batch chromatographic experiments. We are able to convert the adsorber volumes in batch chromatography to the equivalent volume of a compressed column. In a case study, we demonstrate that this method increases the quality of SMA parameters fitted to batch adsorption isotherms, and the capability to predict column breakthrough experiments. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Abstract
The downstream processing of virus particles for vaccination or gene therapy is becoming a critical bottleneck as upstream titers keep improving. Moreover, the growing pressure to develop cost-efficient processes has brought forward new downstream trains. This review aims at analyzing the state-of-the-art in viral downstream purification processes, encompassing the classical unit operations and their recent developments. Emphasis is given to novel strategies for process intensification, such as continuous or semi-continuous systems based on multicolumn technology, opening up process efficiency. Process understanding in the light of the pharmaceutical quality by design (QbD) initiative is also discussed. Finally, an outlook of the upcoming breakthrough technologies is presented.

Abstract
A steady increase of product titers and the corresponding change in impurity composition represent a challenge for development and optimization of antibody production processes. Additionally, increasing demands on product quality result in higher complexity of processes and analytics, thereby increasing the costs for product work-up. Concentration and composition of impurities are critical for efficient process development. These impurities can show significant variations, which primarily depend on culture conditions. They have a major impact on the work-up strategy and costs. The resulting "bottleneck" in downstream processing requires new optimization, technology and development approaches. These include the optimization and adaptation of existing unit operations respective to the new separation task, the assessment of alternative separation technologies and the search for new methods in process development. This review presents an overview of existing methods for process optimization and integration and indicates new approaches for future developments.

Abstract
The accelerating growth of the market for proteins and the growing interest in new, more complex molecules are bringing new challenges to the downstream process development of these proteins. This results in a demand for faster, more cost efficient, and highly understood downstream processes. Screening procedures based on high-throughput methods are widely applied nowadays to develop purification processes for proteins. However, screening highly complex biotechnological feedstocks, such as complete cell lysates containing target proteins often expressed with a low titre, is still very challenging. In this work we demonstrate a multidimensional, analytical screening approach based on pH gradient ion exchange chromatography (IEC), gel electrophoresis and protein identification via mass spectrometry to rationally characterize a biotechnological feedstock for the purpose of purification process development. With this very simple characterization strategy a two-step purification based on consecutive IEC operations was rapidly laid out for the purification of a diagnostic protein from a cell lysate reaching a purity of ∼80%. The target protein was recombinantly produced using an insect cell expression system.

Abstract
Chromatography is a ubiquitous protein purification step owing to its unparalleled ability to recover and purify molecules from highly complex industrial feedstocks. Traditionally, column development has been driven by a combination of prior experience and empirical studies in order to make the best choices for design variables. Economic constraints now demand that companies engage with a more systematic exploration of a chromatographic design space. To deliver this capability using purely conventional laboratory columns, however, would require considerable resources to identify practical and economical operating protocols. Hence, recently there has been increased use of extremely small-scale devices that gather data quickly and with minimal feed requirements. Such information can be obtained either during early development for screening and trend-finding purposes or later for more accurate scale-up prediction. This chapter describes some of the key drivers for these small-scale studies and the different types of extreme scale-down chromatography formats that exist and illustrates their use through published case studies. Since extreme scale-down experimentation is linked to fundamental mechanistic engineering approaches as well, the utility of these in delivering process understanding is also highlighted.
