High‑affinity chromatography delivers powerful selectivity, but it comes with cost, robustness, and format‑specific limitations. Typical pain points include harsh elution conditions, ligand/metal leachables, tag‑related artifacts, co‑purification of interactors, scale‑up sensitivity.
BinomLabs platform has developed a method for selecting impurities from high-molecular complexes: determination of the concentrations ratios for all participating chemical compounds
Protein Purification System
Why is agarose used in Affinity Chromatography?
Affinity chromatography is a method for selective purification of a molecule or group of molecules from complex mixtures based on highly specific biological interaction between the two molecules. The interaction is typically reversible and purification is achieved through two phases, with one of the molecules (the ligand) immobilized to a surface while its partner (the target) is in a mobile phase as part of a complex mixture. The capture step is generally followed by washing and elution, resulting in recovery of highly purified protein. Highly selective interactions allow for a fast, often single step, process, with potential for purification in the order of several hundred to thousand-fold.
Why is agarose used in Ion Exchange Chromatography?
Ion exchange chromatography (IEX) is used to separate molecules based on the strength of their overall ionic interaction with either negatively or positively charged groups on a resin. By manipulating buffer conditions, such as pH and ionic strength, molecules of greater or lesser ionic character can be bound to or dissociated from the solid phase material. IEX supports may either be positively charged (anion binding), or negatively charged (cation binding).
Does size matter?
Agarose resins come with different particle sizes and size distributions. These have an impact on the physical properties of the purification matrix.
Pressure - the smaller the beads, and the narrower the size distribution, the higher the pressure-resistance of the beads. In comparison, the larger the beads, the faster the flow rate in batch and FPLC experiments.
Binding capacity - the smaller the beads, the higher the ratio of surface to volume, and the higher the binding capacity of the beads. Although binding capacity is also dependent on other factors such as the type and size of ligand, and density of ligand coupling.
Particle size distribution
A narrow particle size distribution offers improved performance characteristics. The more uniform the beads, the more consistently the resin will perform, whether that be when packing the column or running your process.
Most agarose-based resins on the market are produced using Batch Emulsification technology, first utilized around 50 years ago. This produces a relatively wide particle size distribution.
Advantages of using agarose for chromatography include:
Low matrix volume (4-8%) – possible to achieve high capacity
Easy to conjugate
Very stable under alkaline conditions
BinomLabs platform has developed a method for selecting impurities from high-molecular complexes affinity:
Data Collection:
Compiling a report of all possible high-molecular and low-molecular formations

Determining the most and least stable molecular complexes,
Determining the effect of modifications, mutations of participating molecules,
Data processing:
Determining the ratio of concentrations of the formed biocomplexes,
Separation and separation of contaminants and impurities in the eluate
Affinity & epitope insight: Predicts ΔG/Kd changes for mutations, domain swaps, or CDR edits—so you express/purify fewer, better variants.
Scores deamidation, isomerization, oxidation, glycation hotspots; proposes stabilizing edits before you head to column.
PPI/context awareness: Maps protein–protein interfaces that may trap contaminants or ligands and recommends buffer additives to keep them off your product.
Assay planning synergy: Aligns purification choices with ELISA/ELISpot/flow or activity assays so fractions elute in conditions friendly to function tests Affinity & epitope insight: Predicts ΔG/Kd changes for mutations, domain swaps, or CDR edits—so you express/purify fewer, better variants.
Pharma and biotech spend tens of billions each year on in‑vitro work, where variability and low first‑try success increse cost and timelines. BinomLabs applies state‑of‑the‑art ML to deliver experiment prognoses that align with lab data up to R = 0.93, demonstrated on real in‑vitro studies.
With this guidance, teams typically reduce ~10 experiments to 3–4, lifting the proportion of successful first attempts and freeing capital for the highest‑value questions. We enhance expert judgment—turning every scientist into a faster, more precise decision‑maker.
