Abstract

Immunoaffinity approaches remain invaluable tools for characterization and quantitation of biopolymers. Their application in separation science is often limited due to the challenges of immunoassay development. Typical end-point immunoassays require time consuming and labor-intensive approaches for optimization. Real-time label-free analysis using diffractive optics technology (dot®) helps guide a very effective iterative process for rapid immunoassay development. Both label-free and amplified approaches can be used throughout feasibility testing and ultimately in the final assay, providing a robust platform for biopolymer analysis over a very broad dynamic range. We demonstrate the use of dot in rapidly developing assays for quantitating (1) human IgG in complex media, (2) a fusion protein in production media and (3) protein A contamination in purified immunoglobulin preparations.
