YMC-SEC MAB is a silica-based size exclusion chromatography (SEC)/gel filtration chromatography (GFC) column with excellent durability and batch-to-batch reproducibility. Optimized base material design and surface modification provide superior separation of antibody monomers and their aggregates/fragments with very low nonspecific adsorption. This is ideal for the quality control assessment of antibody drugs.
