Read operational instructions carefully before using Sartobind capsules ! Important Use of the product in applications not specified or not described in this manual, may result in improper function, personal injury, or damage of the product or material. Capsules should be visually inspected before use. The capsules are supplied as non-sterile.

Sartobind nano 3 ml capsules have been developed for working with small sample volumes while retaining the cylindrical design of large scale Membrane Adsorber. They are perfect for screening of buffers, binding and flow properties in flow through and bind and elute purifications. Sartobind 150 ml capsules have been developed for intermediate and pilot scale for the downstream processing of therapeutic proteins for the removal of hydrophobic contaminants or bind and...

1. Storage conditions Keep the Sartobind capsules in the transport box until use at +4 to +8°C in a clean, dry and dark place. When not in use, the end caps of the nano should be attached to the units to avoid oxygen all the times.
2. Introduction The Sartobind capsules are ready-to-use devices and can be used out of the box. They can be operated with a peristaltic pump or liquid chromatography system. For the Sartobind nano, a pair of adapters (Luer male to UNF10-32 female) are enclosed in the shipment. Sartobind membranes are made from regenerated, stabilized cellu- lose.

The phenyl membrane adsorber follows the same rules known from the conventional hydrophobic interaction chromatography.

There is almost no diffusion limitation of mass transport detectable which is the issue with conventional beads. On average 50% of a protein or peptide surface is accessible for hydrophobic interaction. Buffers with high concentrations of salt promote the adsorption of proteins on the hydrophobic membrane matrix.
Page 10
Typically ammonium sulfate containing salting-out buffers are used to promote ligand-protein interaction. With increased concentration more protein is bound until the protein precipitates. Preferably, the protein binding is performed in the region where the amount of bound protein increases linearly with the salt concentration. Proteins are eluted by decreasing the salt concentration in the elution buffer.

6. Installation The contents of the package are described in chapter 11.1. When unpacking capsule, protect inlet and outlet connec tors from damage. The capsule should be installed in an upright position in the process flow. In this position the inlet is up. The flow is guided to an external channel passing through the 8 mm membrane layer to an internal channel and to the outlet of the capsule.

Move the Jumbo trolley (accessory) in place. Then remove upper foam protection and transparent bag. Lift the Jumbo directly onto the trolley (inlet is up and the arrow imprinted on the banderole is pointing down). We recommend to connect the Jumbo with the trolley by the three screws delivered with the trolley (accessory).

7. Operation 7.1 Venting It is important to remove air from the unit completely. The 150 ml and 5 l capsules carries vent valves. The vent valves are equipped with hose barb connectors for the fluid spilled out during venting. Before opening the vent valve, please connect the valves with flexible tubing (inner diameter 6 mm) to waste.
Page 18
Very small air bubbles observed directly below the inlet do not disturb separations. The capsules will function normally as long as the small air bubbles remain outside of the membrane bed. Outlet Inlet Fig. 4a: Filling the Sartobind nano with a Luer syringe...
Fig. 4b: Fig. 4c: Sartobind 150 ml Sartobind nano 3 ml with vent valves (arrows) 7.2 Preconditioning Prior to sample loading, a sanitization and flushing procedure is recommended. 1. For sanitization use 30 membrane volumes (MV) of 1 N NaOH solution at a flow rate of 1 MV/min. 2.
7.3 Recommended flow rates Membrane adsorbers can be run at much higher flow rate per volume than columns. The recommended flow rates for membrane adsorbers with 8 mm bed height are at 5 membrane volumes per minute. This recommendation is only a guideline since buffers and samples have different compositions and viscosities.
7.4 Buffer conditions Proteins are bound to the phenyl membrane at salt concentrations typically above 500 mM. Larger proteins tend to bind better than smaller ones. Differences in protein hydrophobicity have influence on the choice of salt concentration. The strength of the interaction depends mainly on salt concentrations but also on the sufficient number of exposed hydrophobic groups of the sample and on membrane ligand type and density.

Binding buffer examples To bind IgG 0.8 M (NH in 50 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.5 To bind Bovine serum 2 M (NH in 50 mM albumin or lysozyme potassium phosphate, pH 7.0 Choose salt concentrations as low as possible to bind the protein.
7.4.1 Selection of pH conditions and temperature The effect of pH on binding is much less than in ion exchange chro- matography. Higher temperature typically promotes stronger binding of the sample solute as known from entropy driven reactions. Thus temperature control is important to achieve reproducible results. 7.5 Contaminant removal from proteins in flow through mode The loading conditions can be chosen to selectively retain contami- nants with higher hydrophobicity and allow the target molecule with...
! Important Unfiltered feed will block the Membrane Adsorber and lead to capac- ity loss and increased back pressure. We recommend inline filtering during operation. With increase of pressure replace filter and restart. 7.7 Washing When using capsules in bind & elute mode, wash with 30 ml (nano), 1.5 l (150 ml device) or 25 l (5 l device) of equilibration buffer after sample loading.
7.9 Draining You may drain the capsule by application of air or nitrogen pressure (<1 bar |14.5 psi) to the inlet of the capsule. ! Important A dual air regulator system is recommended to prevent over-pressur- ization of the Sartobind capsule. The first regulator should reduce line air pressure to the Sartobind capsule to 2 bar.
7.11 Stability The capsules are stable against all commonly used buffers, 8 M urea or 8 M guanidine hydrochloride, ethanol and acetone. Do not use oxidizing agents, such as hypochlorite or H 7.12 Operation of the Sartobind nano with peristaltic pumps or LC systems After the unit is filled completely with equilibration buffer;...
7.13 Scaling up Complete break through experiments for the target compound to be bound on the membrane matrix. After optimization of binding conditions of the contaminants, the purification step can be scaled up to a larger capsule. Recommendations: – Maintain –...
Page 28
Scale up calculations are done preferably by the membrane volume as the calculation is most simple. Other methods for scale up via resi- dence time will lead to similar result. Using the Sartobind nano 3 ml the scale up factor for flow rate and binding capacity is equal to a multiplication factor of membrane volumes of the listed scale up device: Device bed...
Page 29
Example: After breakthrough experiments with the nano, you realize that a 1500-fold binding capacity is needed for a large scale run. You choose the 5 liter Jumbo capsule. To determine the running conditions of the Jumbo and to keep consistent upscaling, increase flow rate by a factor of ~1670.
8. Diffusion test of 150 ml and 5 l capsules The integrity of the capsule can be controlled by a diffusion test. The testing procedure describes the diffusion test for Sartobind capsules with Phenyl membranes. The test is intended to discrimi- nate between defective and intact capsules and to detect major bypasses, large holes and faulty assembly.
! Important: The capsule needs to be pre-washed with the testing solvent, to remove any glycerol. The washing solution should be at room temperature. Keep the unit in an upright position for proper venting and open the vent screw on top of the unit until all air is replaced by testing solvent.
