Continuous chromatography is increasingly being used across the biotechnology industry due to its economic advantages. For adoption in commercial manufacturing, also models for virus clearance studies must be available. It is demonstrated how for a virus clearance study for a multispecific antibody, the continuous protein A capture chromatography process, being run on multiple interconnected columns, can be mimicked with only a single column. With this mimicking small‐scale model, resources and complexity can be minimized, when conducting virus clearance studies at a contract research organization (CRO) lab. Obtained log reduction values (LRV) for murine leukemia virus (xMuLV) and minute virus of mice (MVM) virus, used as model viruses, are comparable to batch protein A chromatography and results described by other groups. The feasibility of this mimicking small‐scale model helps to further reduce barriers to adoption when implementing continuous chromatography.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
