Size exclusion column for monoclonal antibody (MAb) separation
YMC-SEC MAB

YMC-SEC MAB is a silica-based size exclusion chromatography (SEC)/gel filtration chromatography (GFC) column with excellent durability and batch-to-batch reproducibility. Optimized base material design and surface modification provide superior separation of antibody monomers and their aggregates/fragments with very low nonspecific adsorption. This is ideal for the quality control assessment of antibody drugs.

Features

Suitable for separation of aggregates of Antibodies or Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs)

A humanized monoclonal antibody and an ADC were analyzed using YMC-SEC MAB. Chromatograms show excellent peak shape, and good separation between aggregates and a monomer peak. YMC-SEC MAB is effective for characterization and quality control of antibody drugs.
