Size-Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) is a powerful technique for protein characterization that requires an understanding of the principles to be successful. In these Learning Modules, we will discuss the history and science of SEC, its strengths and limitations, and how to get the most from this important analytical technique. We’ll also discuss the analytical challenges with a focus on monoclonal antibody separations and the effective use of LC-based, size-exclusion chromatography to obtain reliable mAb aggregate, monomer, and fragment analyses. The available tutorials in this course include:
- Analytical Challenges and Use of SEC for mAbs
- Principles and Practice of SEC for Reliable Monoclonal Antibody Analyses
- Selecting Appropriate SEC Pore Size for Reliable Protein / Peptide Separations
- Choosing Appropriate SEC Column Size based on LC System and Application Goals
- Considerations to Maximize SEC Column Life

- Introduction to non-specific binding and non-specific adsorption
- Common approaches and newer innovations to prevent non-specific adsorption
- Improving reproducibility and reducing column conditioning through control of non-specific adsorption
- Improving sensitivity and peak shape through control of non-specific adsorption
- Column Selection in a world with non-specific adsorption
- Simplified Method Development with Risk Mitigation against Non-Specific Adsorption

- Column Particle technologies: the good, the bad, and the ugly
- Base particles: the key attributes that impact retention
- Solid-core particles: How do they provide higher column efficiency and lower backpressure?
- Ligands: C18, Phenyl, PFP…How to choose?
- What determines the lifetime of the column and how can you extend it?
- The perfect match: Selecting columns to maximize performance on your LC system
