This affinity chromatography medium is designed for purification of supercoiled plasmid DNA. It uses highly crosslinked agarose microspheres functionalized with a thiophilic aromatic ligand. The pyridyl-thiol ligand provides selective interactions suitable for plasmid purification. The medium is intended for gene-therapy and DNA-vaccine development workflows. Small, uniform particles support chromatographic resolution and efficient mass transfer. A dynamic binding capacity of at least 3 mg/mL supports preparative plasmid processing. The hydrophilic matrix limits nonspecific adsorption during purification. Broad pH and chemical stability support repeated use and cleaning-in-place. The medium can be scaled from development columns to larger production systems.
