SOLAµ for Pre- Analysis Sample Concentration
Jon Bardsley and, Ken Meadows, Thermo Fisher Scientific
This application note demonstrates the use of Thermo Scientific™ SOLA�™ SPE product to enhance sample pre-concentration prior to analysis. Additional benefits include reduced workflow and stability for analytes susceptible to loss or degradation during evaporation and reconstitution. The use of a Thermo Scientific™ Accucore™ HPLC column provided fast and efficient separation without the need for an ultra high pressure system. MS-/MS detection was performed on a Thermo Scientific™ TSQ Vantage™ mass spectrometer. Read More
SOLAµ for Reduced Sample Volume Analysis
Jon Bardsley and Ken Meadows, Thermo Fisher Scientific
This application note demonstrates how the Thermo Scientific™ SOLAµ™ SPE product can be used to facilitate the scale down of an extraction method for use when sample volume is limited. The use of a Thermo Scientific™ Accucore™ HPLC column provided fast and efficient separation without the need for an ultra high pressure system. MS-MS detection was performed on a Thermo Scientific™ TSQ Vantage™ mass spectrometer. Read More

Separation of 2AB-Labeled N-Linked Glycans from Bovine Fetuin on a Novel Ultra High Resolution Mixed-Mode Column
Udayanath Aich, Julian Saba, Xiaodong Liu, Jim Thayer, and Chris Pohl, Thermo Fisher Scientific
This application note demonstrates the separation of 2AB-labeled N-linked glycans released from proteins (bovine fetuin) by reversed phase (RP) / weak anion exchange (WAX) mixed-mode chromatography. The separation is carried out with both 1.9 �m and 3 µm Thermo Scientific™ GlycanPac™ AXR-1 columns using fluorescence detection. The method exhibits an excellent separation based on charge, isomeric structure, and size. Read More
Separation of 2AA-Labeled N-Linked Glycans from Glycoproteins on a High Resolution Mixed-Mode Column
Udayanath Aich, Julian Saba, Xiaodong Liu, Jeff Rohrer, Jim Thayer, and Chris Pohl, Thermo Fisher Scientific
This application note demonstrates the separation of 2AA-labeled N-linked glycans released from bovine fetuin using a reversed-phase / weak anion-exchange mixed-mode column (Thermo Scientific™ GlycanPac™ AXR-1, 1.9 µm, 150 � 2.1 mm) with fluorescence detection. The method exhibits excellent separation of glycans based on charge, isomeric structure, and size. Read More
Structural Analysis of Native N-Glycans Released from Proteins Using a Novel Mixed-Mode Column and a Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer
Udayanath Aich, Julian Saba, Xiaodong Liu, and Chris Pohl, Thermo Fisher Scientific
This application note compares two approaches for the structural characterization of N-glycans released from proteins. Analysis was carried out using a novel Thermo Scientific™ GlycanPac™ AXH-1 column and a Thermo Scientific™ Q Exactive™ hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap™ mass spectrometer. Read More
A Fast and Robust Linear pH Gradient Separation Platform for Monoclonal Antibody (mAb) Charge Variant Analysis
Shanhua Lin, Julia Baek, and Chris Pohl, Thermo Fisher Scientific
This application note describes a fast, 10 min cycle time separation of mAb charge variants using a linear pH gradient separation method. A gradient from pH 5.6 to pH 10.2 was generated over time by running a linear pump gradient from 100% Thermo Scientific™ CX-1 pH gradient buffer A (pH 5.6) to 100% CX-1 pH gradient buffer B (pH 10.2). Linear UV response with up to 300 μg of protein loading was achieved. The elution pH values of mAbs are in linear relationship with their corresponding pI values. Read More
Analysis of Monoclonal Antibodies and Their Fragments by Size-Exclusion Chromatography Coupled with an Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer
Shanhua Lin, Hongxia Wang, Zhiqi Hao, and Xiaodong Liu, Thermo Fisher Scientific
The Thermo Scientific™ MAbPac™ SEC-1 column uses size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and is designed for monoclonal antibody (mAb) analysis, including monomers, aggregates, and fragments. Coupling size-exclusion chromatography with a high-resolution Thermo Scientific™ Exactive™ Plus EMR Orbitrap™ mass spectrometer (SEC-MS) enables accurate mass measurement of mAb and its fragments in either native or denatured state. When using a non-denaturing, volatile eluent, such as 20 mM ammonium formate, the intact mass of mAb can be measured in its native state. When using denaturing volatile eluents, such as 20% acetonitrile, 0.1% formic acid, and 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid, mAb heavy chain (HC), light chain (LC), Fab, and Fc fragments are successfully separated on MAbPac SEC-1 and their masses are determined accurately.
