Automation of IgG Purity/Heterogeneity Sample Preparation for Pharmaceutical Analysis by Capillary Electrophoresis
4 Feb 2015The Beckman Coulter PA 800 plus Pharmaceutical Analysis System was designed in collaboration with the pharmaceutical industry to maximize the advantages of capillary electrophoresis (CE) and has become the industry standard for CE-SDS analysis. However, CE-SDS sample preparation for the PA 800 plus is still a manual process, which can absorb significant operator time and remains a potential source of human error. This poster demonstrates the automation of a CE-SDS workflow to prepare IgG protein samples on the Biomek 4000 Workstation.

Capillary ElectrophoresisCapillary electrophoresis (CE) is used to separate molecules based on charge, size and hydrophobicity. Pressure, voltage or a vacuum is used to introduce the sample to fused silica capillaries. Fluorescence, UV/Vis, UV or diode array detectors are used to visualize components. Types of CE systems include capillary electrochromatography (CEC), capillary zone electrophoresis and capillary gel electrophoresis.

Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.Robotic WorkstationsRobotic workstations are automated platforms enabling the user to perform high-throughput, multi-application processes, from sample preparation tasks such as PCR set-up, DNA purification and NGS library preparation, to integrated sample prep and analysis workstations. Automation makes processes consistent, fast, precise and fully walk-away.
