CHEMICAL STABILITYIn large scale purification of proteins and peptides there will be depositions in the packingmaterial. To avoid time-consuming packing and unpacking of the columns it is important torun cleaning in process. These cleaning steps are usually performed at a very high pH. Suchconditions are harsh for the silica, therefore it is of great importance that the silica surviveunder these conditions in order to have a long-lasting product.
Test conditions:
• Wash: 95/5 MeOH/H2O, 10 CV
• Eluent: 60/40 MeOH/100mM NaOH, pH 13.0, 12 CV
• Temperature: Ambient cycle 1-30. From cycle 30 and onwards 50oC
• Neutralization: 90/10 MeOH/1%AcOH, 10CV
• Flow rate: 1ml/min
• Chromatographic evaluation

Comparison of NLAB Saga™ 13 µm C8, Competitor A 13 µm C8 and Competitor B 10 µm C8in terms of alkaline stability shows that NLAB Saga™ and Competitor A performsconsistently well and withstand the harsh experimental conditions, while Competitor B isfalling behind.

MECHANICAL STABILITYNLAB Saga™ has a high mechanical stability. Backpressure stays the same meaningthere is no mechanical degradation of the silica. This is also shown by sizedistribution staying the same for native silica and used silica.

EXAMPLE OF INSULIN PURIFICATIONThe target for the experiment was to reach the purity threshold of 99.2% as set per theUSP. Insulin purity was measured before and after one step of reversed-phase purification.

NLAB Saga™ surpasses the set USP target by reaching a purity of 99.5% after one step ofreversed-phase purification. The Competitors A, B and C do not reach the USP target,meaning they would need one more step of purification to pass the USP threshold.
Thus, NLAB Saga™ needs fewer steps to reach the USP purity target leading to a lowermanufacturing cost for the insulin manufacturer.
