  1. Anion Exchange Column By: Eilish McConville Justin Low

  2. Presentation Overview • Theory and Background • Column Sizing • Timing • Engineering Design • Costs • Recommendations

  3. Theory and Background • Chromatography separation method differentiating species based on the ionic charge • Four Stages: • Initial Binding • Wash • Elute • Rebuffer • Elution Profile

  4. Column Sizing • Calculated Protein Loading vs. Volume • Used Empirical data from Bio-Rad • Model: Protein Load (mg) = 15.007*Volume(mL)-0.125

  5. Column Sizing • Pick Suitable Column • Consider Size, efficiency and cost • GE Chromaflow column selected • Volume = 942.5 L • Calculate Total Number of Column Runs for single column • Total amount of protein/batch = 202.80kg • Can separate 7.071kg/column run • Need to run column 28.67 times

  6. Timing • Need to consider two time frames: • Batch Process time for column • Continuous process time for entire insulin production • Process requires multiple columns • Chose a flow rate that allowed for four columns • 93.82 L/min (72% of maximum) • Determined the step times based on flow rate

  7. Number of Columns • Four columns is ideal • Operation can be offset to allow for continuous product

  8. Engineering Design

  9. Design Considerations • Insulin Ester Isoelectric Point = 5.3 • Bead Choice: • DEAE-Sephadex A-25 • Medium to coarse beads (170-260 µm) • Initial buffer pH • Flow rate chosen for four columns • 50% Protein Saturation

  10. Cost • GE quoted price = $150,577 (CAN)/column • Total Capital Cost ~ $900 000 (CAN) • Amortized Cost (20 years, 10%) ~ $100 000/year • Operating Costs • Gel Matrix refills (~$2000/kg or $2.6M/column) • Utility costs • Wash and Eluent Material Costs • Maintenance • Other Capital Costs not considered • Pumps • Holding Tanks • Control System

  11. Manufacturers • GE • Bio-Rad Laboratories • Dionex Corp. • Shodex Inc. • Thermo Labs • Sartorius AG • Sigma Aldrich • Varian Inc. • UpFront Chromatography

  12. Recommendations • Experimentation with the unit to determine: • Optimal buffer pH • Protein loading • Talk with suppliers: • General Electric Company • UpFront Chromatography
