Protein Reversed-Phase Columns

Reversed-Phase Chromatography

Reversed-phase chromatography of proteins, performed on columns packed with porous or coated, solid-core particles possessing wide pore size particles ( e.g., 300Å), and functionalized with short ligand length chemistries (e.g., C₄), is a separation technique based on the ability to separate samples based on relative hydrophobic differences of the proteins in solution. Gradients of increasing organic solvent concentration are frequently used to affect separations in the presence of ion-pairing reagents (e.g., 0.1% TFA or 0.1% formic acid) that minimize undesired ionic interactions. In general, the hydrophobicity of the protein or protein subunit determines the elution order, with the least hydrophobic proteins eluting first. Factors such as particle composition, pore size, ligand type and density, as well as separation conditions (e.g., gradient duration, separation temperature, flow rate) all play important roles in obtaining a separation that meets application requirements.

BioResolve RP mAb Polyphenyl Columns

These 450Å, 2.7 µm columns were developed in response to shortcomings of existing reversed-phase columns designed for LC or LC-MS analysis of intact mAb or mAb subunits.

Contain silica-based, solid core particles with defined 450Å pore coating for outstanding protein component resolution, recovery, and low injection-to-injection carryover.
Use innovative polyphenyl ligand and bonding technology (patent pending) to deliver superior intact mAb and subunits separations in LC (0.1% TFA) or LC-MS (0.02% TFA or 0.1% FA) applications.
Deliver near equivalent performance on HPLC, UHPLC, and UPLC instrumentation.
QC tested with a mAb subunit standard (i.e., Reduced IdeS-digested NIST mAb Reference Material 8671) to help ensure batch-to-batch column consistency.
“More Than Just a Column.”

BEH Particle Technology

Designed for Protein Separations

The separation of large molecular weight biological compounds can be challenging. For more than 20 years, chromatographers have benefited from performance characteristics that Waters reversed-phase columns have provided for protein separations. Waters Ethylene-Bridged Hybrid (BEH) Particle Technology can help overcome performance limitations experienced using 100% silica-based materials for challenging protein separations.

Delta-Pak Columns

Delta-Pak HPLC Columns are based on highly stable, bonded, endcapped 5 μm or 15 μm spherical 100% silica-based particles. These columns are offered in two different pore sizes (i.e., 100Å or 300Å) with either C₄ or C₁₈ ligands to address different selectivity and retentivity needs. They are available in different 15 μm cartridge and column configurations, providing consistent and predictable scale-up capabilities for milligram-to-gram scale purification.

MassPrep Protein Standard

This intact protein validation mix is designed for verification of HPLC/UPLC instruments. This standard is also used to evaluate the performance of columns used for protein analysis, specifically the ACQUITY UPLC and XBridge Protein BEH C₄ Columns. The MassPrep Protein Standard contains proteins that have a wide range of isoelectric points, molecular weights, and hydrophobicities.
