  • Page 8: Storage Conditions

    1. Storage conditions Sartobind capsules should be stored clean, dry and away from direct sunlight in the box at room temperature. Store membrane samples enclosed in Jumbo shipment in a safe place as they cannot be ordered again. 2. Introduction The capsules with 4 and 8 mm bed height are ion exchange chromatography devices based on macroporous membranes.
  • Page 9 costly cleaning validation procedures. However, it is technically possible to reuse after cleaning in place (see also section 7.11). Their major application is for single use as they are validated for contaminant removal from proteins in flow-through mode (negative chromatography) to bind DNA, residual protein, host cell proteins, endotoxins, viruses and aggregates.

  • Page 13: Installation

    6. Installation The contents of the package is described in chapter 12. When unpacking capsule, protect inlet and outlet connectors from damage. Never keep or place the capsule directly on the floor on the connectors. This might damage the sanitary adapters. For unpacking of Jumbo 5 L capsule, take the capsule including the styrene foam end protectors, out of the box and place it upright on the end protectors.
  • Page 14 Capsules should be visually inspected before use. In case of visible damage, the capsule should be replaced. Close vent valves before use by screwing the valve clockwise. The direction of flow is imprinted on the banderole of the unit. External channel Membrane (4 | 8 mm) Central core Internal channel...

    7. Operation 7.1 Venting It is important to remove air from the unit completely. The 75 mL, 150 mL, 1.2 L and 5 L capsules carry vent valves. The vent valves are equipped with hose barb connectors for the fluid spilled out during venting.
  • Page 16: Cleaning

    Very small air bubbles observed directly below the inlet of the nano do not disturb separations. The capsule will function normally as long as the small air bubbles remain outside of the membrane bed. Outlet Inlet Fig. 6: Filling the Sartobind nano with a Luer syringe 7.2 Cleaning The modules have to be cleaned in place directly after unpacking...
  • Page 17: Autoclaving

    7.3 Autoclaving The capsules can be autoclaved once at 121°C for 30 minutes at 1 bar (0.1 MPa| 14.5 psi). Prewet the capsule with equilibration buffer. Do not use pure water. Close valves immediately after sterilisation. For auto- claving Sartobind Jumbo refer to separate autoclaving instruc- tions enclosed in delivery.
  • Page 18: Buffer Conditions

    7.5 Buffer conditions In the majority of applications an equilibration buffer concentra- tion of 10 mM provides sufficient buffering capacity and prevents the protein of interest from precipitation. The ionic strength should be kept as low as possible to avoid reduction of binding capacity.
  • Page 19: Selection Of Ph Conditions

    7.6 Selection of pH conditions In ion exchange chromatography a charged molecule is bound to oppositely charged groups attached to the insoluble matrix. This binding is reversible by application of salt ions to the buffer eluting the molecule. The pH value at which a biomolecule has no net charge is the isoelectric point: pI.
  • Page 20: Sample Preparation

    To remove contaminating proteins and aggregates with Sartobind S in flow through mode, process impurities have to be charged positively to bind to S while the target protein stays negative as the pH of the buffer is above the pI of the protein product and flows through without binding.
  • Page 21: Elution

    7.10 Elution To elute the target protein use buffers with appropriate salt concentration. 7.11 Draining You may drain the capsule by application of air or nitrogen pressure (<1 bar |14.5 psi) to the inlet of the capsule. A dual air regulator system is recommended to prevent over-pressurization of the Sartobind capsule.
  • Page 22: Operation Of The Sartobind Nano With Peristaltic Pumps Or Lc Systems

    7.14 Operation of the Sartobind nano with peristaltic pumps or LC systems After the unit is filled completely with equilibration buffer; close the outlet of the Sartobind nano and remove the syringe. Start your LC system or peristaltic pump at a low flow rate. When fluid emerges, stop the pump, connect the tubing to the inlet of the Sartobind nano.

    8. Testing of membrane samples enclosed with 5 L capsules Membrane quality is always tested as described in chapter 10. Additionally the 5 L Jumbo is delivered with membrane samples of same membrane lot that was used in the capsule. This allows again for testing of membrane with user specific tests before use of capsule.

    9. Diffusion test of 75 mL, 150 mL, 1.2 L and 5 L capsules The integrity can be controlled by a diffusion test. The testing procedure describes the diffusion test for pre and post use. The test is intended to discriminate between defective and intact capsules and to detect major bypasses, large holes and faulty assembly.
  • Page 34 Do not use pure water as this may lead to reversible swelling of the membrane strongly affecting the flow rate. Prior to integrity testing, the capsule needs to be prewashed, to remove any glycerol. The washing solution should be at room temperature. Keep the unit in an upright position for proper venting and open the vent screw on top of the unit until all air is replace by testing solvent.

  • Page 38 Problem Possible cause Action Binding Process Use larger adsorber device, or: capacity is optimization connect two adsorbers (same size) not sufficient in series (i.e connect outlet of first adsorber to inlet of second) to achieve higher binding capacity. As a rule of thumb the pressure doubles when the flow rate is kept constant and the number of membrane layers is doubled.
