Size Exclusion Chromatography Columns

Waters Corporation’s XBridge Premier GTx BEH size exclusion chromatography (SEC) columns are designed to improve analysis while lowering the cost of gene therapies, specifically for adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors. SEC is a technique used for aggregate and fragment analysis in the research, development, and manufacturing of biotherapeutic proteins, such as insulin and monoclonal antibodies.

The columns aim to reduce the cost of gene therapies by using three to 10x less sample, generating faster results and offering more drug substance information. Additionally, a new multi-attribute quantification method is intended to double analytical speed, quadruple sensitivity, and increases resolution of target analytes by up to 50%.

The Xbridge columns are designed to take robust physicochemical characterization and quantitative measurements. Aiming to double the speed of measuring the potency and safety of AAVs, the SEC columns are intended for process development, formulation studies, regulatory filing support, ongoing process monitoring, and quality control.
