Are you missing important peaks?Get better Monoclonal Antibody Resolution with MAbPac RP columns for High Performance Reverse Phase Chromatography
MAbPac RP ColumnThe Thermo Scientific™ MAbPac™ RP columns are designed for comprehensive characterization of mAb purity by reversed-phase (RP) liquid chromatography. High resolution of intact mAb, mAb fragments such as light chain (LC), heavy chain (HC), Fc and Fab, scFc and F(ab’)2, will reveal the location, as well as nature, of modification using LC/UV or LC/MS.
Product Highlights• Superior resolution of monoclonal antibodies and related substances: unique macroporous resin with faster mass transfer capabilities
• High efficiency columns with lower carry-over than silica based columns – engineered into the surface chemistry
• Excellent MS compatibility
• Wider operating pH range (0–14) easy cleaning with up to 800 mM NaOH (not possible with silica based columns)
• High temperature stability (up to 110 °C) for better chromatographic separation
• Fast separations capability for high throughput separations
• Wide loadability range with 3 orders of magnitude: 0.2 ng to 20 µg
Optimized Column TechnologyThe MAbPac RP column is a reversed-phase (RP) column based on a macroporous resin specifically designed for high resolution separation of intact monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and mAb fragments. The stationary phase is fully compatible with mass spectrometry friendly organic solvents such as acetonitrile and isopropanol, as well as low pH eluents containing trifluoroacetic acid or formic acid.

MAbPac RP chemistry and morphology provides superior resolution of intact mAb and variants, as shown in this comparison with other column suppliers. Twice as many variants, with almost half of the peak width half height, are clearly resolved using the MAbPac RP column: resulting in easier and better identification throughout the analysis (Figure 2).

Figure 4c. List of identified proteins using Proteome Discoverer 2.1 software.
Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ Intact Protein Mix consists of six recombinant proteins: IGF-I LR3 (9 kDa), thioredoxin (12 kDa), protein G (21 kDa), carbonic anhydrase II (29 kDa), protein AF (51 kDa), and exo klenow (68 kDa). These proteins are selected to satisfy the following criteria: 1) evenly covering a MW range of 10kD–66kD, 2) presenting mostly clean, modification and adduct-free ESI spectra, and 3) having ESI charge state distributions covered a wide m/z range from 500–2,000. A 1 mm ID MAbPac RP column was chosen to analyze these proteins because it provides higher sensitivity than larger internal diameter columns, when sample size is limited.
Figure 4a shows baseline separation of all six proteins using an acetonitrile/H2O/formic acid mobile phase. Top-down MS/MS spectra were acquired on a Q Exactive HF Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer using top 3–5 DDA method. OT MS1 data was acquired at resolution settings of 15 at m/z 200 and OTMS2 at a resolution of 120K at m/z 200. Figure 4b shows deconvolution results from Thermo Scientific™ Protein Deconvolution™ 4.0 software and Figure 4c shows top-down results from ProSight PD 1.1 node in Proteome Discoverer 2.1 software.
