PATfix® analytical quaternary system

Biocompatible analytical chromatography system with quaternary buffer setup.

PATfix® analytical quaternary system is an at-line tool, to help process developers of novel gene therapies get immediate feedback on their current process state. This enables faster iteration and process optimization towards better purities and higher recoveries. The Sartorius analytical system provides modality-appropriate analysis and in-process control for gene therapy and vaccine products. Designed to take full advantage of the capabilities of CIMac™ analytical monolithic columns, the PATfix® delivers fast, high-resolution runs. Operation with multiple detector types provides content- rich analyses even with complex samples. User friendly PATfix® software makes for easy data processing, visualization and sharing.

Genetic therapies provide new hope for vaccines and previously incurable diseases, but they also present new challenges for process development and control. The sheer size and complexity of products like pDNA, mRNA and AAV present a new challenge for "at-line" analytics, like distinguishing empty from full AAV capsids. Backed by in-house expertise and extensive applications data, and combined with the CIMac™ column, PATfix® Model LPG delivers analysis and in-process control for new generation gene therapies, vaccines and a wide range of other biomolecules.

Use the PATfix® Model LPG system for:

  • AAV: E | F AAV capsid separation and characterization in complex matrices
  • AAV: Total AAV characterization on clarifies harvest and tracking of AAV capsid purificationm
  • RNA: monitoring complex IVT reaction mixtures
  • Lentivirus: in process development, e.g. to select the optimal TFF membrane
  • Adenovirus – quantification with excellent range, LOD and LOQ
  • Influenza A – quantification with < 5 minute run times
