MacroSep IEX Q are innovative strong anion exchange media to target large biomolecules and particles such as adeno-associated viruses (AAVs), protein complexes, and plasmid DNA (pDNA). This media offers an optimized macro-porous structure that ensures efficient purification of these molecules. With its high binding capacity for large particles and molecules in addition to high separation efficiency even at elevated flow rates, MacroSep IEX Q is an ideal solution for downstream processing (DSP) platforms, enabling successful and productive purification of large biotherapeutics.

AAV Full/Empty capsids separation was performed with MacroSep IEX Q. Purity of the full AAV2 after the chromatographic purification was reached to 91.2% against 54.4% of a feed solution, determined by analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC). MacroSep IEX Q is suitable for chromatographic purification of AAV.

MacroSep IEX Q is designed to have higher DBC value of large biomolecules than conventional media for improving productivity. DBC value of pDNA with each MacroSep IEX Q and conventional media is determined as an example of a large-sized modality. MacroSep IEX Q shows higher DBC with high recovery, compared to the conventional media.
