Praesto® bioprocessing products aim to improve the accessibility and availability of cutting-edge antibody therapeutics worldwide, which are typically used to treat, extend life and improve quality of life for patients with cancer, arthritis, diabetes and many other conditions. These agarose-based chromatographic resins are key raw materials for the downstream processing of antibodies and recombinant proteins, and are trusted by many of the leading biopharmaceutical manufacturers and CMOs. With hand-in-hand applications support and patented manufacturing technology, Praesto resins are currently implemented in FDA-approved commercial manufacturing processes and hundreds of clinical trials across the globe.

The Praesto mAb Platform

The purification of commercially-available monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) on the market today is typically performed in three chromatography steps. Purolite offer industry-leading solutions for each step. 

Protein A Affinity Chromatography
A Protein A affinity resin is utilized as an initial antibody capture step. Praesto Protein A resins deliver exceptionally high purity (>99%) and yield in a single, efficient step.

Cation Exchange Chromatography
A Sulphopropyl- (SP) functionalized cation exchange resin in ‘bind and elute’ mode is used to remove aggregates and HCP (Host Cell Proteins).

Anion Exchange Chromatography
A Quarternary Amine (Q) functionalized anion exchange resin is used in ‘flow-through’ mode to remove trace contaminates and ensure sufficient viral clearance.

 

Products for Protein A Chromatography

Presto® Jetted A50

Praesto Jetted A50 is a high performance agarose-based Protein A resin that delivers exceptional performance in terms of capacity, pressure flow and lifetime. Designed to meet the mAb processing demands of tomorrow, today, the combination of a highly cross-linked Praesto agarose base matrix with the NGL-ImpactTM A ligand from Repligen® provides increased capacity and excellent alkaline stability, reducing your bioburden risk and improving your process efficiencies from the same manufacturing footprint.

Praesto® Jetted A50 HipH

The unique properties of Praesto Jetted A50 HipH address challenges in eluting pH-sensitive mAbs and Fc-containing proteins, which can become unstable at pH levels typically used for elution with other Protein A resins (3 – 3.5). This resin provides alkaline stability, capacity of 60 g/L for polyclonal human IgG and elution up to pH 5.

This creates a wider operational window for your Protein A step, facilitating rapid process development and processing of all Fc-containing molecules by:

    • enabling use of a classic antibody purification platform
    • retaining the unique specificity of Protein A for high recovery and excellent productivity
    • minimizing impact on facility fit with comparable elution volumes and buffer usage
    • lowering levels of post-Protein A contaminants, reducing polishing challenges and driving process robustness
