1.Purpose:

The operation of the YSI 2900 Biochemistry Analyzer to measure the glucose and lactateconcentrations in samples.The YSI 2900 Analyzer utilizes enzyme sensor technology to measure concentrations of up to two analytes in solution. Using this technology, enzymes are immobilized in a 3-layer membrane on platinum probes in the instrument. When samples containing glucose or lactate are injected on to the membranes, they are oxidized to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is then oxidized at the platinum probe and produces a probe current. The probe current at each probe is proportional to the amount of hydrogen peroxide and therefore to the amount of glucose or lactate in the sample. This SOP describes the use of the YSI 2900 to measure glucose and lactose concentration in samples.

2.Scope:

This SOP applies to operation of the YSI 2900 Biochemistry Analyzer to measure the glucose and lactate concentrations in samples.

3.Responsibilities:

  4. Check Probe Current

    1. From the “initialize” tab of the Configure screen, touch either “flush” button to flush the sample chamber with buffer

    2. Observe the probe current values. They must be below 6 nA and stable. When the enzyme probe baseline currents are below 6 nA and stable, the probe indicators change from red to green. Once both probe indicators are green, touch the “X” button at the top left of the screen to exit the main display

1.Purpose:

To quantify the relative amount of aggregated and monomer molecules in solution of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) drug substance using size exclusion high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis.

2.Scope:

Size Exclusion High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is an analytical chemistry technique for separating the components of a liquid sample based on molecular size. This SOP uses HPLC to detect the presence of monoclonal antibody aggregates or degradation products in a drug substance sample. HPLC is an FDA required test to adequately characterize the unconjugated mAb reagent of a drug product.

3.Summary of Method:

*Note: If the column is in long-term storage conditions, it requires ~3 hours of run-time to setup as described in 9.2. The system can be prepared for short-term storage conditions in mobile phase the previous day.

  1. Prepare the mobile phase solution

  2. Power up the HPLC system and equilibrate with mobile phase solution for 60 minutes [if system is in short-term storage] or 120 minutes [if system is in long-term storage].

  3. Prepare AdvanceBio SEC 300Å protein standards

  4. Prepare mAb drug substance for HPLC analysis

  5. Prepare buffer in which mAb drug substance is suspended.

  6. Power up the HPLC system and equilibrate with mobile phase solution

  7. Run an assay for using the prepared AdvanceBio SEC 300Å protein standards and mAb sample

  8. Prepare HPLC system of short-term or long-term storage.

  9. Compute the size of the conjugated and unconjugated mAb sample

  1. SOP: Degassing a Solution by Helium Sparge

  2. User Guide for Agilent AdvanceBio SEC Columns

5.Definitions:

CV

Column Volume; the volume (ml) of the column containing the stationary

phase; CV= 2.91 ml for a standard size (4.6 X 150 mm) column

 

Equilibrium

Running the mobile phase solution through the column prior to injecting the sample in order to bring the system into equilibrium

Flow rate

The rate (ml/min) that solution is pumped through the column. The operating flow rate is determined by the assay protocol.

Helium Sparge

Using a stream of helium bubbles to sweep dissolved air out of liquids (helium is virtually insoluble in most HPLC solvent solutions, so very little helium replaces the air)

HPLC

High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Isocratic

The composition of the mobile phase solution is constant; the system has only one pump.

Long-term storage conditions

In long-term storage the system is stored in 20% ethanol for one week or longer.

Mobile phase

The solvent solution used to carry the sample through the column

PeakSimple

Software used to collect and display data

PSI

Pounds per Square Inch

Short-term storage conditions

In short-term storage the system is stored in mobile phase solution for up to a one week

Size exclusion chromatography

Separation based on molecule size. Molecules are separated on the basis of their exclusion from pores in the column packing material.

Stationary phase

The chromatography matrix through which the sample travels.

 

 

 

 

6.Precautions:

  1. HPLC systems operate at high pressures. Personal injury and equipment damage can result if maximum pressure is exceeded, or the pump runs dry. Monitor pressure readings and solution level whenever the pump is running. If pressure exceeds 2500 psi or if the solution runs out, stop the pump immediately by pressing the RUN/STOP button. Do not set the flow rate higher than 1.5 ml/min with a 250 mm column.

  2. Flow rate consistency is affected by the quality of the solutions. Use HPLC-grade solvents and filter solutions using a sub-micron filter (preferably 0.22 μm). Degas solutions prior to use.

  3. To avoid microbial growth, do not leave the system in a high aqueous solution for a prolonged period. The system should be washed with a storage solution of 20% Ethanol if it is to be idle more than a week.
