After packing or between runs, it can be necessary to remove pyrogens from the sorbent. The above suggested sodium hydroxide solutions are effective to remove pyrogens and in most cases to inactivate microorganisms. 290009 After treatment, the column must be reequilibrated with the normal sterile pyrogen-free buffer.

The sorbent provides high binding capacity at high flow rates. Lysine HyperD affinity sorbent employs a high-capacity hydrogel polymerized within the large pores of a rigid bead. This design combines the desirable characteristics of a soft, high capacity hydrogel with the high dimensional stability of a rigid bead. Dynamic binding capacity with Lysine HyperD sorbent is virtually independent of linear velocity and the rigid nature of the bead results in very stable beds capable of handling pressures up to 70 bar (1,000 psi). Lysine HyperD is available as ready-to-use labpacks suspended in 1 M sodium chloride with 20 % ethanol as bacteriostatic. ™ Pack size BioSepra Lysine HyperD ® For more information, please contact our technical service.

Ligand L-lysine Working pH 3-13 Volume changes due to pH and ionic strength Non compressible Pressure resistance 70 bar (1,000 psi) Main benefits - Very high productivity as a consequence of a high binding capacity and the ability to run at high flow rates. - Rapid packing due to the high density of lysine sorbent which settles in a few minutes. - HyperD sorbent is very rigid and allows the use of high flow rates without pressure increase or shrinking or swelling of the sorbent. 1 - Minimized leakage due to the stable chemical link of the lysine molecule to the sorbent. Lysine HyperD can be occasionally washed with 0.1 M sodium hydroxide for cleaning. Recommended protocol for the purification of plasminogen from human plasma z 290009 - 03/2007 ™ BioSepra Lysine HyperD ® Applications Lysine HyperD is used for the purification of plasminogen from human or animal species plasma. It can be used to prepare for example plasmine-free serum for cell culture, by removal of the plasminogen present in the whole serum. Plasminogen contains different subclasses that can be discriminated by gradient elution using e-amino caproic acid. Lysine HyperD has been developed to improve the productivity of process-scale molecules such as plasminogen or plasminogen activators, in allowing a higher binding capacity at higher flow rates than conventional agarose-based resins. In Lysine HyperD, the L-lysine moiety is immobilized covalently by mostly the a-amino groups, via an aminoalkyl linkage. The general recommendations of use for Lysine HyperD are very similar to those of conventional lysine-immobilized resins. Sample Plasma sample diluted with an equal volume of column equilibration buffer. z Experimental procedure - Equilibrate the column in a 50 mM phosphate buffer, pH 8. - Load with above sample. - Wash with 50 mM phosphate buffer + 0.3 to 0.5 M NaCl to elute loosely bound contaminants (such as albumin). - Elute the plasminogen with a gradient of 0.2 to 0.5 M H-amino-caproic acid in a 50 mM phosphate buffer, pH 8. - Regenerate with 0.1 M NaOH, 2 column volumes during 30 min. - Wash with 50 mM phosphate buffer + 0.3 to 0.5 M NaCl, 1-2 column volumes. - Equilibrate in starting buffer. Preparation of the column - The flasks contain settled sorbent. Gently shake the flask to obtain an even slurry. If a part of the sorbent remains sedimented, add fresh buffer to resuspend the sorbent. Do not use rigid tools to scoop the sedimented sorbent as this may damage the sorbent. - Elimination of dissolved gas: carefully degas the suspension under vacuum while gently swirling (do not use magnetic stirrer). - Set up the column and introduce the lower adapter. Connect a short tubing to the adapter outlet. Fix a syringe to the outlet tubing and from the syringe, introduce degassed buffer up to 210 mm (0.08-0.04 in.) high. Make sure that air bubbles are thoroughly eliminated. Clamp the column outlet tubing and remove the syringe. Pour the degassed suspension (we recommend a slurry of 70 % of settled sorbent volume) into the column. Attach the column inlet adapter. Then open the column outlet and provide flow sufficient to create at least 80 cm (31 in.) H2O pressure. The column packing is complete when the sorbent is totally sedimented. For optimized packing, it is advised to slightly vibrate the tube glass. Do not let the gel bed dry (add buffer if necessary). Close the column outlet, clamp the inlet tubing and if desired, connect a pump to the column inlet. We recommend to operate at 300 cm/h for maximum productivity. Cleaning and Maintenance In order to avoid frequent regeneration, it is advisable to introduce into the column only samples and buffers that are clear and previously filtered to 0.22 μm. Be sure that changes in pH and ionic strength during elution do not cause precipitation of sample components. Nevertheless, after repeated use and if necessary, Lysine HyperD sorbent may be regenerated in column or in batch. The following suggestions may be checked first for their degree of efficiency: Situation Recommendation General CleaningIn-Place (CIP) Wash extensively with 3 M NaCl as a first trial. Hydrophobic Contaminants Wash with 8 M urea, or 6 M guanidine hydrochloride or an aqueous solution of non ionic detergent (1% Triton* X100), 1-2 cv. Unknown impurities Wash with 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution. 1-5 cv of this solution are generally sufficient to remove alkaline soluble material. After treatment, neutralize the column immediately by washing with strong buffer solution. Flow rate should be between 0.5 and 3 column volumes/h. Lysine HyperD sorbent can be packed using peristaltic or medium pressure pumps. After packing, wash the sorbent extensively and equilibrate it in the working buffer. 2 3
