or biopharmaceuticals downstream processes, it always requires highly productive and robust technologies to improve the process
efficiency. Expanded-bed adsorption (EBA) is an innovative technology that allows capturing proteins directly from un-clarified
feedstock, such as cell culture broth and homogenization. EBA technology combines solid-liquid separation with an adsorption step
in a single-unit operation, aiming at increased overall yield, reduced operational time, and less requirements for capital investment
and consumables. Mixed-mode chromatography (MMC) is a novel technology for bio-product separation, which combines multiple
binding modes like hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, etc. High capacity, salt-tolerance, good selectivity
and relatively low cost are the major advantages of MMC for direct capture process. In the present work two chromatographic
techniques, EBA and MMC, were integrated to develop new separation technology, mixed-mode EBA, improving the protein capture
efficiency and reducing the pretreatments on the feedstock, such as clarification, dilution and salt-adjustment. Several MMC ligands
were coupled onto typical matrices (densified agarose beads) for EBA. The static adsorption, adsorption kinetics and dynamic
binding were investigated, and the effects of pH and salt addition were evaluated. New technology was challenged with two typical
biopharmaceutical processes, monoclonal antibody (mAb) capture from CHO cell culture broth and recombinant human albumin
serum (rHSA) isolation from Pichia pastoris fermentation broth. After the optimization of operation conditions, high separation
efficiency (purity, recovery, productivity) was obtained. The results demonstrated that mixed-mode EBA, combining the advantages
of EBA and MMC, would be a promising new platform for protein capture with reduced feedstock pretreatments, high efficiency and
relative low cost. New technology developed in the present work could also be expanded to other bio-product processes.

iral transmission during the use of human plasma and its derivatives to treat various medical conditions can be fatal. Solvent/
detergent treatment using non-ionic detergents like Triton X-100 inactivate the lipid enveloped viruses. However, the detergent
interferes with downstream processing and analysis. Also, WHO permits a residual level of <25 ppm of Triton X-100 and thus it needs
to be removed from post viral inactivation. Removal of Triton X-100 poses a challenge due to its low CMC and non-ionic character.
Selective removal of Triton X-100 was studied using various hydrophobic resins screened on the basis of adsorption capacity, uptake
kinetics and effect of plasma proteins on these parameters. Resins showing higher adsorption capacity and uptake rate with lower
protein binding were selected for column studies. Breakthrough capacity of the shortlisted resins was determined at different flow
rates and concentrations along with the effect of proteins. A simple and sensitive HPLC method was developed to detect Triton X-100
in the treated samples at ppm level. This research work asserted the impact of various resin characteristics and plasma proteins on
selective detergent removal and thus the mechanism of adsorption of Triton X-100 onto these resins.
