CHT™ Ceramic Hydroxyapatite — A Unique Tool for mAb Purification

Date: 
2009-12-23
CHT ceramic hydroxyapatite offers unique selectivity for polishing mAbs, vaccines, and other therapeutic, diagnostic, and industrial proteins. CHT media are very effective at removing aggregates, fragments, leached protein A, HCP, DNA, endotoxins, and viruses from target protein. Because CHT ceramic hydroxyapatite is an effective and efficient purification medium, it is part of many licensed commercial processes.

This webinar presents the most widely used purification applications and buffer protocols for CHT media. We also address how the proper use and care of CHT media ensures excellent column life and how Bio-Rad's state-of-the-art columns and skids can further improve CHT ceramic hydroxyapatite handling and performance.



Topics covered:
  • How CHT ceramic hydroxyapatite works: chemistry and physics
  • Key applications and case studies
  • Packing and unpacking CHT media
  • Running CHT media in a column
  • Bio-Rad hardware for CHT media
