A relatively fast, inexpensive, and non-destructive method for separation and isolation of biologically active nanoparticles is described. Methods include the use of solid phase separation medis such as channeled fibers in a hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) protocol to isolate biologically active nanoparticles from other components of a mixture. Biologically active nanoparticles can include natural nanoparticles (e.g., exosomes, lysosomes, virus particles) as well as synthetic nanoparticles (liposomes, genetically modified virus particles, etc.)

The present disclosure relates to, inter alia, a method of quantitating an amount of an antibody molecule from a mixture comprising two or more antibody molecules, comprising separating each of the two or more antibody molecules from the mixture by hydrophobic interaction chromatography high performance liquid chromatography (HIC-HPLC) and quantitating an amount of each antibody molecule, wherein the molecular weight of each antibody molecule is within 15 kDa of any other antibody molecule in the mixture and either each antibody molecule is different from another antibody molecule in the mixture by more than about 0.25 unit on the Kyte & Doolittle hydropathy scale or each of the antibody molecules when run alone on HIC-HPLC elutes at distinct run time with little overlap from the other antibody molecules in the mixture, or both.

The present invention relates to a method of preparing a population of antibodies, whereby a desired high-purity and high-quality population of antibodies can be prepared by removing impurities without using an expensive protein A column, and in particular, production costs can be significantly reduced while achieving process automation; and a population of antibodies prepared thereby.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method of regenerating a hydrophobic interaction chromatography column to which a load mass has been applied, the method comprising passing one or more column volumes of an alkaline solution through hydrophobic interaction media within the column, wherein the alkaline solution exhibits a pH of between about 10 and about 14, and a conductivity of between 0.5 mS/cm and about 10 mS/cm, wherein material bound to the hydrophobic interaction media is removed. In some cases, the alkaline solution may include sodium hydroxide at a concentration of between, e.g., about 0.1 mM and 10 mM.

The invention provides a sorbent material comprising a PSA that is synthesized via a sol-gel process. The sorbent material enables higher loading of PSA and other functional groups than conventional sorbents. The sorbent material can further encapsulate carbonaceous and/or non-carbonaceous particles that are distributed throughout the sorbent network. The invention also relates to a method of making the sorbent materials.
