Sažetak
Preparative continuous annular chromatography, a method to separate proteins in a truly continuous manner, was investigated in an industrial environment. Plasma-derived clotting factor IX concentrate was used as model protein. Separation of vitronectin, a common impurity in commercial available factor IX concentrates, from factor IX was studied and compared to conventional packed bed chromatography in batch mode. As sorbent, Toyopearl DEAE 650M was used. Regeneration was performed simultaneously with the purification of factor IX in continuous mode. All required parameters applied for preparative annular chromatography such as feed flow-rate and elution flow-rate were first estimated from experiments on conventional batch columns. Then preparative annular chromatography and conventional packed beds were compared regarding enrichment, purity and productivity. Three different process scenarios, the optimal batch process, the preparative annular chromatography process and the batch process equivalent to the preparative annular chromatography process were investigated. The productivity of the optimal batch process was higher than that of the preparative annular chromatography and batch process equivalent to the preparative annular chromatography process. Therefore the throughput could not be increased by the use of the continuous chromatographic system.
