Delayed production timelines. Reworks across teams.If you’re working with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) or other biopharmaceuticals, you already know the challenge: biological reactions are variable.Unlike traditional small-molecule drugs, with simpler and more predictable chemical structures, biotherapeutics exist in a dynamic state of microheterogeneity — no two batches are ever truly identical.Whether undergoing production, processing, or storage, these compounds often undergo unwanted side reactions like glycation, deamidation, charge variation, and aggregation, which can compromise product safety and efficacy.Finding robust and dependable ways to monitor these critical quality attributes (CQA) and protect therapeutic integrity is even more pressing, as regulatory agencies demand comprehensive characterizations.While analytical techniques like liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS) play a fundamental role in CQA analysis, the increasing complexity of analytical tasks is forcing the requirements of instruments to grow.The good news? <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.thermofisher.com/blog/analyteguru/biopharma-boost-how-2d-lc-went-from-expert-only-to-routine/">Targeted two-dimensional LC (2D-LC)</a> workflows that can handle analytical complexity and support straightforward method development without any manual fluidic changes are already here.Let’s explore how your lab can use 2D-LC coupled with ultraviolet detection (UVD) or high-resolution accurate mass spectrometry (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/products?category=22&amp;manufacturerItems=3">HRAM-MS</a>) to monitor the CQAs of intact mAbs in real time (Figure 1).<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Thermo_Fisher_Scientific_Monitoring_m_Ab_Manufacturing_the_Easy_Way_with_Switchable_2_D_LC_UV_MS_2_8ee6b79638.jpeg" alt="Thermo Fisher Scientific: Monitoring mAb Manufacturing the Easy Way with Switchable 2D‑LC-UV-MS: Figure 1.

ProA affinity chromatography for titer determination and isolation of the mAb from host cell material and media components. The purified fraction is then sent via automated heart‑cut transfer straight into the 2D. The 1D elution conditions facilitate optimal mAb capture at the SCX column in the 2D.</li><li>ProA‑SCX to see charge drifts. Gradient elution of the SCX column in the 2D to separate acidic and basic variants from the main peak.</li><li>ProA‑SCX‑SEC to see aggregation risks. The SCX column is switched in line with the SEC column to resolve the monomer, low‑molecular‑weight (LMW), and high‑molecular‑weight (HMW) fractions. The SCX column here acts as a trap and refocusing stage, releasing the mAb into SEC in a narrow band by a step increase to high ionic strength. The trap/elute procedure is critical to yield sharp peaks downstream, as SEC cannot refocus bands, broadened by the loop volume.</li></ul>Together, these workflows support both early risk detection and informed corrective action without adding analytical complexity.<h3>UVD or MS? How to pick the right tool for the job</h3>With switchable 2D-LC workflows, you can select different detection options in the 2D: UVD or HRAM-MS (Figure 5). The fluidic setups differ slightly, but you must always use a fully volatile buffer system with the MS option.<h4>Here’s how to choose the right setup:</h4><ul><li>UVD is ideal for routine, in‑time process control of established reactions.

Phenomenex Kinetex Core-Shell HILIC HPLC Columns

Kinetex HILIC is a core-shell particle with unbonded silica, providing selectivity for retaining and separating polar compounds in HILIC chromatography.

Hydrophilic Polar Selectivity and Performance!The Kinetex HILIC is a core shell based particle with a unbonded silica phase is used under hydrophilic interaction chromatography conditions to provide the selectivity needed for the retention and separation of polar compounds. This versatile column can easily upgrade existing fully porous 5 µm and 3 µm methods to shorten run time, increase sensitivity, and even provide greater resolution with much higher efficiency levels.<ul><li>Compatible with All Analytical HPLC/UHPLC Systems</li><li>Unique Polar Retentive L3 Silica</li><li>Unbonded Silica Phase</li></ul><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Phenomenex_Kinetex_Core_Shell_HILIC_HPLC_Column_9ff82b0e20.webp" alt="Phenomenex: Kinetex Core-Shell HILIC HPLC Column" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Phenomenex_Kinetex_Core_Shell_HILIC_HPLC_Column_9ff82b0e20.webp 245w," sizes="100vw" width="500" height="150"><ul><li>Carbon Load: 0 %</li><li>Particle Size (μm): 1.7, 2.6, 5</li><li>Recommended Use: Retention and separation of polar compounds hydrophilic interaction chromatography conditions</li></ul><h4>Alternative Polar Selectivity to a C18 &nbsp;</h4>A Core-Shell based silica phase that combines high-performance with novel polar HILIC selectivity.<h4>Increase Polar Retention</h4>Used under HILIC running conditions, this phase provides the highest polar selectivity for retention and separation of hydrophilic compounds.<blockquote>Stationary phase Kinetex Core-Shell HILIC is provided in these column types: analytical and preparative</blockquote><h3>Kinetex Core-Shell Technology Columns</h3>Kinetex Core-Shell Technology delivers dramatic improvements in efficiency over conventional fully porous media, which can be leveraged to increase resolution, significantly improve productivity, reduce solvent consumption, and decrease costs. Whether you are running high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) methods, the Kinetex core-shell family can deliver shockingly improved performance over the current column you are using. Phenomenex designs, manufactures, and sells its very own silica and organo-silica core-shell particles.Advantages of Kinetex HPLC Columns<ul><li>Performance gains on ANY liquid chromatography system</li><li>System-to-system and lab-to-lab method portability</li><li>Improve the productivity of older, established methods.</li></ul><h4>How Does Core-Shell Technology Work?</h4>Core-shell technology in chromatography is a revolutionary approach that enhances the efficiency of HPLC systems while minimizing costs. Core-shell particles are designed with a solid, non-porous silica core surrounded by a porous outer layer. This unique structure allows for faster analyte mass transfer between the mobile and stationary phases, as diffusion occurs only through the thin, porous shell rather than the entire particle. This minimizes band broadening, leading to higher separation efficiency and sharper peaks.The consistency in size and shape of core-shell particles further enhances separation efficiency by reducing variability in analyte movement. As a result, core-shell HPLC columns provide high efficiency and resolution at lower backpressures, making them an ideal choice for labs looking to improve their existing HPLC systems without the need for costly UHPLC equipment.Core-shell technology thus offers a cost-effective alternative to upgrading to UHPLC systems, enabling labs to maximize the efficiency of their current HPLC setups. The formation of these particles through advanced sol-gel processing techniques ensures uniformity and reliability, making them a valuable tool in modern chromatography. By using the Kinetex HPLC column, laboratories can achieve faster analysis times and higher productivity while maintaining excellent separation performance.<h3>Kinetex Core-Shell Performance on Any LC System</h3>The 5 versatile particle sizes allow you to select the best fit for your instrument.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Phenomenex_HPLC_and_UHPLC_Kinetex_Core_Shell_Technology_Columns_5_particle_sizes_bbed75c36f.jpg" alt="Phenomenex: Five versatile particle sizes of Kinetex Core-Shell Technology Columns" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Phenomenex_HPLC_and_UHPLC_Kinetex_Core_Shell_Technology_Columns_5_particle_sizes_bbed75c36f.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="1341" height="333"><h3>Particle Chemistry</h3>Using sol-gel processing techniques that incorporate nano-structuring technology, a durable, homogeneous porous shell is grown on a solid silica core to create a Kinetex Core-Shell particle.

Core-shell particles are designed with a solid, non-porous silica core surrounded by a porous outer layer. This unique structure allows for faster analyte mass transfer between the mobile and stationary phases, as diffusion occurs only through the thin, porous shell rather than the entire particle. This minimizes band broadening, leading to higher separation efficiency and sharper peaks.The consistency in size and shape of core-shell particles further enhances separation efficiency by reducing variability in analyte movement. As a result, core-shell HPLC columns provide high efficiency and resolution at lower backpressures, making them an ideal choice for labs looking to improve their existing HPLC systems without the need for costly UHPLC equipment.Core-shell technology thus offers a cost-effective alternative to upgrading to UHPLC systems, enabling labs to maximize the efficiency of their current HPLC setups. The formation of these particles through advanced sol-gel processing techniques ensures uniformity and reliability, making them a valuable tool in modern chromatography. By using the Kinetex HPLC column, laboratories can achieve faster analysis times and higher productivity while maintaining excellent separation performance.<h3>Kinetex Core-Shell Performance on Any LC System</h3>The 5 versatile particle sizes allow you to select the best fit for your instrument.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Phenomenex_HPLC_and_UHPLC_Kinetex_Core_Shell_Technology_Columns_5_particle_sizes_bbed75c36f.jpg" alt="Phenomenex: Five versatile particle sizes of Kinetex Core-Shell Technology Columns" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Phenomenex_HPLC_and_UHPLC_Kinetex_Core_Shell_Technology_Columns_5_particle_sizes_bbed75c36f.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="1341" height="333"><h3>Particle Chemistry</h3>Using sol-gel processing techniques that incorporate nano-structuring technology, a durable, homogeneous porous shell is grown on a solid silica core to create a Kinetex Core-Shell particle.
