Executive Summary Thermo Scientific MAbPac RP Column Designed for high-resolution separation of monoclonal antibodies (mabs) and mab fragments (including LC, HC, Fc, Fab, scfc, and F(ab ) 2 ) by reverse phase chromatography Developed for analytical chemists who need High Resolution Accurate Mass determination of monoclonal antibody variants, antibody drug conjugates (ADC), and proteins 3
RP Columns Are Important for mab Analysis mabs are highly heterogeneous and are susceptible to degradation Glycosylation Modifications on the termini Oxidation Deamidation Isomerization Reduction of disulfide bond Aggregation LC/MS analysis of mab and mab fragments can reveal these modifications without complete digestion and peptide mapping. 4

What is Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography? Chromatographic techniques that separates biomolecules according to differences in their surface hydrophobicity Orthogonal to IEX and SEC Gradient elution: High to Low salt concentration Relatively mild conditions are used; so biomolecules do not become denatured during the separation 35

Tips and Tricks for HIC Analysis Wash the system thoroughly before and after analysis using DI water. Make sure the ammonium sulfate does not cause high background signal. If the protein is less hydrophobic (indicated by broader fronting peak and short retention time), increase the salt concentration (lyotropic agent) of mobile phase A or you will need a more hydrophobic column. If the protein is less hydrophobic try increasing the run temperature. If the protein is very hydrophobic, try adding organic solvent to obtain better efficiency and resolution. 5
MAbPac HIC-2 Conditioning This column requires conditioning by injecting 75 µg of protein. Ovalbumin or BSA can be used for this purpose. After storing the column storage solution, you may need to re-condition the column. 51
Protein Standard Myoglobin, RNase A, Lysozyme, α-chymotrypsinogen A Make 1 mg/ml of each protein Then mix these proteins with the following ratio Myoglobin : RNase A : Lysozyme : α-chymotrypsinogen A = 2:4:1:2 52
