Abstract:

The present application provides methods and systems for viral clearance for purifying an antibody from a sample comprising one or more impurities including viral particles. The method is conducted in a system which includes a hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) column and a virus retentive filtration (VRF) system. The HIC column and the VRF system are connected inline in a continuous processing system, and the VRF system comprises at least two filter trains in parallel.
