The Fractoprep line of biochromatography media utilizes the same effective tentacle-based chemistry found in the Fractogel EMD product line except in Fractoprep, functionally-substituted acrylamides are grafted onto porous particles of hydrophilic vinyl polymer resin. The resulting ion exchange media have excellent protein binding capacities at high flow rates, with enhanced mechanical and chemical stability.

The resins are extremely stable against sodium hydroxide treatment, an important clean-in-place procedure commonly used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Furthermore, they are mechanically rigid due to the high level of cross-linking in the matrix polymer which makes Fractoprep very easy to handle and pack for developmental and commercial-scale manufacturing applications.

Use Fractoprep for:

efficient purification of biological molecules such as antibodies, blood plasma factors, recombinant proteins
DNA removal
endotoxin removal
virus reduction/purification

Benefits

Features Advantages
High capacity at high flow rates High throughput
High pressure stability High flow rates
High chemical stability Easy clean-in-pace
Strong binding of proteins Efficient capture
High recovery of biological activities High yield

Chemistry

Fractoprep® resins consist of the following components:

Bead polymer - hydrophilic vinyl polymer resin
Tentacle - acrylamide polymers
Functions groups – TMAE, DEAE and SO3

The Fractoprep® line of media consists of two anion-exchange resins Fractoprep® TMAE and Fractoprep® DEAE and a strong cation-exchange resin Fractoprep® SO3. The beads have a particle size that range from 30 to 150 µm and consist of large pores that enable free diffusion of proteins into the beads allowing for high throughput at very low back pressures.
