Protein drugs are increasingly developed in the pharmaceutical company. Under the regulation of FDA, high purity of therapeutic proteins needs to be maintained. Before putting those drugs in the market, fast and efficient method is in need to achieve homogeneity. Traditionally, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), capillary electrophoresis (CE), and size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) are used for the purification process. These methods have the disadvantages of low time and cost efficiency, and this quality assurance process has become the bottleneck of production. In our group, sub-micron silica colloidal particles with polyacrylamide layer on the surface are packed inside capillaries to increase the …

Protein heterogeneity is currently one of the leading problems in formulation of therapeutic proteins. The effectiveness of therapeutic proteins is diminished when they exhibit heterogeneity due to aggregates and degradation by-products. Furthermore, guidelines set forth by the FDA require therapeutic proteins to have high stability as well as high purity. With development time on the order of years and costs incurred in the millions, pharmaceutical companies are investing more time in finding fast and efficient ways to screen for protein heterogeneity. Current methods such as native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE) are time consuming, …
