For High Throughput Chromatography Sorbent Screening and Optimization
ScreenExpert RoboColumns are miniaturized chromatography columns pre-packed with 颇尔 chromatography sorbents.They are designed for fully automated and parallel chromatographic separations with robotic liquid handling workstations, such as the Freedom EVO♦ from Tecan.ScreenExpert RoboColumns are packed with 颇尔 anion exchange, mixed-mode or any other 颇尔 chromatography sorbents upon request.The column units are packed by Atoll GmbH and are identical to Atoll’s MediaScout♦ RoboColumns.
Two formats are available, 200 μL and 600 μL, with a bed height of 10 and 30 mm respectively.The 200 μL column volume is recommended for sorbent and process conditions screening, while the 600 μL is used for purification process optimization or when a residence time above 4 minutes is required (e.g., capacity study on mixed-mode sorbents).
The columns are supplied as rows of eight pre-packed units, with two removable silicon cover seals for proper storage.A 96-well array plate is available to arrange up to 96 ScreenExpert RoboColumn units.
优势
- Column format, and high quality packing enables the ability to mimic all the steps of a chromatography separation in dynamic mode.Data obtained are comparable to those obtained in larger columns
- Miniaturized format facilitates screening of chromatography sorbents, reduces sample consumption, and saves time
- Perfectly fitted to Design of Experiment (DoE) requirements, allowing a large amount of experimental work in a minimum of time
- 96-well format allows easy integration with automation systems for High Throughput Process Development (HTPD)
- Multiple parameters can be tested in parallel, e.g., residence time
- Reusable
- Flexible use:the user makes column selection when needed
Handling
ScreenExpert RoboColumns are designed for robotic handling.When using the high-throughput process development approach for ScreenExpert RoboColumns, it is suggested to use Design of Experiments (DoE) criteria for the experimental set-up.This enables to screen many different chromatographic parameters such as resin type, pH, conductivity / ionic strength, etc., efficiently and simultaneously.
For experimental set-up and the configuration of the 96-well array plate, the Te-Chrom Wizard is recommended.The Te-Chrom Wizard is a dialog-based graphic user interface offered by Tecan and based on the Freedom EVOware software.The Te-Chrom Wizard was developed for the use of ScreenExpert RoboColumns and provides the possibility to configure hardware, plate layout, and the chromatographic process as well as to set all process relevant chromatographic parameters, e.g., flow rate, volume without direct script writing.

Application Example:Development of the Capture Step of a Monoclonal Antibody (MAb) Expressed in a Crude CHO Feedstock
MAb binding conditions were tested on 3 mixed-mode sorbents and dynamic binding capacity (DBC) was evaluated based on breakthrough (BT) curve (Figure 1).The ScreenExpert RoboColumn was overloaded with MAb CHO feedstock at 0.52 mg/mL and flowthrough (FT) was collected as one-column-volume (CV) fractions (200 μL each) in 350 μL 96-well plate.The amount of MAb recovered in the FT fractions was evaluated using Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) with protein A sensor (Octet® System, 颇尔 ForteBio).It was plotted against the volume of feedstock loaded per ScreenExpert RoboColumn unit.1/10 of the MAb concentration (C/10) was 0.052 mg/mL (52 μg/mL in Figure 1).The volume equivalent at 10% BT (Veq10%BT) was the volume of MAb loaded when reaching C/10 in FT fractions (8.56 mL in Figure 1).

Using this breakthrough curve method, the DBC for MEP, HEA and PPA HyperCel sorbents was determined on 200 μL ScreenExpert RoboColumns (Figure 2).

This comparison showed that MAb binding was maximized on MEP HyperCel sorbent in PBS, pH 7.4. The selected condition was then transferred to 1 mL PRC column for confirmation of the DBC, approximately 21 mg/mL (Figure 3).

A 335-fold scale-up of the MAb capture step was finally carried out from 200 μL ScreenExpert RoboColumn to LRC 25 lab-scale column (2.5 cm I.D) packed with 67 mL MEP HyperCel sorbent (Figure 4).
