POROS GoPure pre-packed columns are intended for screening of POROS ion exchange resins or for small scale purification.

These prepacked columns are ready to connect and have the following features:

  • Dimensions of 0.5 x 5 with a nominal 1 mL bed volume that provides a uniform screening platform
  • Direct connections to standard chromatography systems
  • Packed with POROS high performance resins that offer high dynamic binding capacity and high resolution over a wide range of flow rates

The POROS XQ resin in this GoPure column features a strong anion exchange functional group and is a high capacity and high resolution resin with excellent salt tolerance.

  • Convenient—ready-to-run columns simplify and speed POROS resin evaluations
  • Conserves sample—GoPure 0.5 x 5 cm columns, with their 1 mL nominal bed volume, minimize the sample needed for screening multiple resins
  • Simplified scalability—reproducible GoPure pre-packed columns simplify process scale up or process modeling

GoPure 0.5 x 5 cm pre-packed columns have been developed to meet the needs of the process development scientist requiring a convenient and uniform POROS resin screening platform. The 1 mL bed volume reduces sample requirements, and a recommended ≥3 minute residence time (0.3 mL/min.) on this 5 cm length column equates to 400 cm/hr on a 20 cm bed height.

Other POROS anion exchange resins, as well cation exchange resins, are also available in this column format. All POROS high performance chromatography resins have a unique pore structure that provides excellent mass transport for high capacity and resolution over a wide range of flow rates.

For scale-up, POROS GoPure pre-packed columns are available in a range of diameters and in multiple bed heights that equate to a column volume range of 5 mL to 6.3 L.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Are POROS analytical columns compatible with HPLC systems from Waters or Agilent?

All of the pre-packed POROS columns, regardless of column size or resin, have the same 10-32 female fittings on the column. Columns are compatible with Waters and Agilent HPLC systems. You will need 1/16 inch male fittings for the HPLC to attach the column.

For any POROS analytical column, is the column compatible with an AKTA or Avant purification system?

All of the pre-packed columns, regardless column size or resin, have the same 10-32 female fittings on the column. They are all compatible with the AKTA instrument platform, however due to the column volume of the 2.1 mmD x 30 mmL columns (0.1 mL), these will not perform well in AKTA or Avant purification systems due to the relative size of the hold- up volume in these systems. The smallest column (PEEK or SS) that could feasibly be used in these systems is the 4.6mmD x 50mmL (0.8 mL) format.

What is the physical or mechanical stability of POROS resins?

The physical stability of POROS resins is high. Customers have agitated, with overhead mixing and or bottom gassing for long periods of time (5-10 hours) and have performed hundreds of diaphragm pump passes during stall packs. Keep in mind that agitation with any device that creates grinding and sheer, such as with a magnetic stir bar, is not recommended for any type of resin.

What should I do if a POROS column dries out or air is pumped onto the column?

POROS resins rehydrate quite well. Here is the procedure that we recommend:

1. Flow 5% ethanol over the column at ?350 cm/hour for 3 CVs, followed by water or 0.1 M sodium chloride at 300 cm/hour for 3 CVs.
2. If baseline noise is still present, flow 20% ethanol over the column at 300 cm/hour for 3 CVs, followed by water or 0.1 M sodium chloride at 300 cm/hour for 3 CVs.
3. If you have established column qualification tests and specifications, perform the tests after rewetting.

Can POROS resins be used to purify large biomolecules?

In general POROS resins have behaved better for large biomolecules such as viral particles, fusion proteins, and globular proteins, where shape (not size) matters due to its unique pore structure and large pore structure as compared to traditional resins. As the target molecule size increases, capacities obtained will decrease. The large pore structure of POROS resins, which allows for convective flow (and therefore enhanced diffusion) is especially well suited for the purification of large biomolecules. POROS resins offer the best blend of high capacity (associated with chromatography beads) and improved chromatography efficiency (typically associated with monoliths or membranes). The average pore size for POROS resins is 1,000-3,600 Angstrom (100-360 nm) depending on the base bead/chemistry being utilized. For example, the molecular weight of IgG is 150 kDa and the molecular radius is 55 Angstrom. The molecular weight of IgM is ~900 kDa (pentamer), and the molecular radius is 120 Angstrom. So both of these biomolecules can interact with the pore structure associated with POROS materials.
