A-ProTrap Butyl resin is a chromatography media, can remove aggregates efficiently from antibodies, synthesized by standard polysaccharide ligand modification technology. After affinity chromatography like protein A, protein L or protein G, the antibody samples are passed through A-ProTrap Butyl chromatography, the aggregates are bound to the hydrophobic ligand of the chromatography media and antibody monomers are coming out in flowthrough fraction. A-ProTrap Butyl can be used as flow-through purification mode that selectively bounds such as aggregates or polymers.
 
															Fig 1. OPM analysis of A-ProTrap Butyl resin
Cross-linked spherical A-ProTrap beads are prepared by unique process from natural polysaccharides. Primarily composed of agarobiose repeating units (alternating D-galactose and 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose), finally beads are highly hydrophilic, minimize the non-specific binding. A-ProTrap Butyl, made from crosslinked A-ProTrap beads, benefits from this structure by offering efficient flow velocity for large biomolecules. This helps improve performance when purifying large proteins and other biological substances.
 
															Partial structure of A-ProTrap Butyl
Ligand structure for A-ProTrap Butyl media is described.
A-ProTrap Butyl enable high-flow operations, for efficient purification in biopharmaceutical industries high flow operation is essential. The figures below show pressure-flow velocity curves of A-ProTrap Butyl. A-ProTrap Butyl resin is operable at practical flow velocities and pressures.
 
															A-ProTrap Butyl have high efficiency in mass transfer and excellent Dynamic Binding Capacities, particularly for large biomolecules like Immunoglobulins (IgG) also for HSA and Ribonuclease. Because of these special qualities, A-ProTrap Butyl media can be used in downstream processes in the purification of biopharmaceuticals
