High throughput screening for rapid and reliable prediction of monovalent antibody binding behavior in flowthrough mode

Flowthrough (FT) anion exchange (AEX) chromatography is a widely used polishing step for the purification of monoclonal antibody (mAb) formats. To accelerate downstream process development, high throughput screening (HTS) tools have proven useful. In this study, the binding behavior of six monovalent mAbs (mvAbs) was investigated by HTS in batch binding mode on different AEX and mixed-mode resins at process-relevant pH and NaCl concentrations. The HTS entailed the evaluation of mvAb partition coefficients (K
