1 Introduction

Introduction
PreDictor plate are disposable 96-well filter plates prefilled with GE Healthcare Life
Sciences BioProcess chromatography media (resins), see Table 1.1. PreDictor
plates support high-throughput process development (HTPD) by allowing parallel
screening of chromatographic conditions. They can be used in automated
workflows using robotic systems, or can be operated manually using multi-channel
pipettes.
Each well in a PreDictor plate is prefilled with a defined amount of chromatography
medium. The choice of PreDictor plate depends on the type of application, see
Table 3.1, Table 3.2 and Chapter 3 PreDictor plate selection, on page 9 for details.
As a result of parallel screening of chromatographic conditions, a large number
of experimental conditions may be evaluated simultaneously. This allows screening
of a large experimental space to identify the subspace that is the most relevant
with respect to one or several defined responses. All chromatography media used
in PreDictor plates are available in prepacked columns, such as HiTrap and
HiScreen columns, and in bulk packs. This means that once the experimental
subspace has been found, optimization and scale-up can easily be done on columns
using KTA systems.

2 Applications

Applications
PreDictor plates can be used to screen different parts of the chromatographic
cycle, for example determination of binding, wash, and elution conditions. It is
possible to perform adsorption isotherm studies and time-dependent studies
(quantitative or qualitative). Quantitative analysis of very low concentrations of
proteins and/or impurities may be limited by non-specific adsorption to the
PreDictor plate. Regardless of the application, the workflow includes equilibration,
sample addition, incubation, wash, and elution - that is, similar to a typical
chromatographic cycle in a column.

2 Applications

Batch uptake experiment

In a typical adsorption process, both the mass transfer mechanism responsible
for protein transport and the ligand selectivity are independent of the mode of
operation (i.e. are the same regardless of whether they occur in a batch system
or packed column). If a column is approximated by a cascade of hypothetical
stages (theoretical plates) where a separation occurs, a single well in a PreDictor
plate can be seen as a single stage in such a cascade.
In a chromatography column, any separation taking place in a single stage is
further magnified by the next stage in series. As long as a difference in adsorption
capacities/rates for different constituents of a sample can be quantified in a single
well, the results obtained using PreDictor plates can be used to describe the same
separation occurring in a column.
Fig 2.1 shows a batch uptake experiment taking place in the wells of the PreDictor
plates. The steps in PreDictor plate experiments are the same as in a typical
chromatographic separation: equilibration, sample loading, wash and elution.

3 PreDictor plate selection

PreDictor plate selection

Different PreDictor plates

For optimal results, different applications and samples will require that the correct
type of plate is used. Different types of PreDictor plates are therefore available to
provide flexibility for designing a study. The plates available can be divided into
three main categories:
1

Single chromatography medium plates

For binding, wash or elution studies

Same chromatography medium volume in all wells

Different single medium plates are available, each with a different medium
volume per well. Select medium volume per well depending on type of
study, see Table 3.1.

Chromatography media screening plates

For binding, wash or elution studies on multiple chromatography media

Six types of plates are available:

-

Capto CIEX polishing screening media plate (Capto S ImpAct, Capto SP

ImpRes and Capto MMC ImpRes), see Table 3.2.

Capto AIEX polishing screening media plate (Capto Q, Capto Q ImpRes,

Capto adhere and Capto adhere ImpRes), see Table 3.2.

Anion screening media plate (Capto Q, Capto DEAE, Q Sepharose Fast

Flow and Capto adhere), see Table 3.3.

Cation screening media plate (Capto S, SP Sepharose Fast Flow and

Capto MMC), see Table 3.4.

HIC screening high hydrophobicity media plate (Phenyl Sepharose 6

Fast Flow (low sub), Capto Butyl, Phenyl Sepharose 6 Fast Flow (high
sub) and Capto Phenyl (high sub)), see Table 3.5.

PreDictor plates Instructions 28-9258-34 AK

3 PreDictor plate selection

HIC screening low hydrophobicity media plate (Butyl-S Sepharose 6

Fast Flow, Octyl Sepharose 4 Fast Flow, Butyl Sepharose 4 Fast Flow
and Capto Octyl), see Table 3.6.

Screening plates are available in different media volume per well. Select
medium volume per well depending on type of study, see Table 3.1.

Adsorption isotherm plates

For binding studies done under equilibrium conditions to obtain

fundamental thermodynamic understanding of the adsorption process.

Contains a single chromatography medium in all wells but with different

volume of chromatography media in different wells, see Table 3.7.
The plate design, with different amounts of media in different wells, allows
simple and rapid construction of isotherms since it is possible to use a
single sample concentration. For further reading on adsorption isotherms,
see handbook: Highthroughput process development with PreDictor plates,
and application note:
Adsorption equilibrium isotherm studies using a high-throughput method
(for ordering see Chapter 8 Ordering information, on page 34).

Selecting plate type

The type of study, amount of sample, target protein and impurities required for
analysis need to be considered when selecting a PreDictor plate.

10

For binding studies, generally plates with 2 or 6 l chromatography media

should be used. The medium is overloaded with protein and the amount of
unbound protein is measured. Alternatively, the amount of bound protein is
determined from elution pool(s). The different volumes of chromatography
media used are based on the properties of the different media: for the highcapacity ion exchangers 2 l is sufficient, while for the other media 6 l is
required for optimal results.

PreDictor plates Instructions 28-9258-34 AK

3 PreDictor plate selection

For wash and elution studies the first choice is the use of 20 l plates. Larger
media volumes (50 l) may be required if sample purity needs to be determined.
In such cases, minimum detectable amount of impurities will determine the
choice of PreDictor plate.

Screening plates are provided to facilitate media screening. Instead of using

several single medium plates to screen different media, plates containing 3
different media (PreDictor Capto CIEX polishing screening plate and PreDictor
CIEX screening plate) or 4 different media (PreDictor Capto AIEX polishing
screening plate, PreDictor AIEX screening plate, PreDictor HIC screening high
hydrophobicity screening plate, and PreDictor HIC screening low hydrophobicity plate) are available.
Note: Multimodal CIEX and multimodal AIEX media are found in CIEX screening
plates and AIEX screening plates, respectively. These media generally
require that a different experimental space is explored as compared to
the traditional ion exchange media.

Adsorption isotherm plates are provided to facilitate easy construction of an

adsorption isotherm, i.e., obtaining data of capacity as a function of equilibrium
concentration. One adsorption isotherm plate is provided per chromatography
medium.

If a large amount of sample is needed for analysis, a larger medium volume

and/or increased number of sample aliquots are needed. Alternatively, several
replicates from one plate can be pooled for analysis.

The lower volume in this interval indicates the working volume needed for effective mixing of sample/liquid on microplate shaker.
The upper limit is the limiting volume for avoiding cross contamination between wells during mixing on a microplate shaker without
sealing the top of the PreDictor plate.
Note:
The volume and the amount of protein needed for analysis are also to be taken into consideration.

With working volume/well more than 300 l for studies requiring longer incubation times, e.g., life time studies, the bottom of the
filterplate should be sealed to avoid leakage from the plate.

5 Advice on handling

Advice on handling

Equipment
PreDictor plates are designed for both manual and robotic handling. Table 5.1 is
a guide to the equipment required for manual and robotic handling of PreDictor
plates.
For an automated workflow, using robotic handling, note that following items are
required:

an automated blotting device to avoid leakage and contamination

an automated microplate shaker with holding devices to keep the collection

plate in place when mixing

Table 5.1: Recommended equipment for manual and robotic handling of PreDictor plates
Equipment

Details

Tips and tricks

Pipette

Use an 8 or 12 multichannel pipette

When dispensing liquid it is useful to aspirate a larger
for quick and easy pipetting of liquids volume and thereafter dispense the liquid into the
into the PreDictor plates.
PreDictor plate wells in smaller fixed volumes in several
steps.

Collection plate

Use a 96-well microplate

(UV- or non-UV readable).

To avoid overfilling the collection plate, make sure not to

add a larger volume to the wells of the PreDictor plate
than the volume of the wells in the collection plate. When
the collection plate is to be frozen, do not fill the wells to
more than half of the handling volume.
When using a UV readable collection plate, make sure not
to touch the bottom of the collection plate.

Microplate shaker Use a microplate shaker with 3 mm

circular centripetal movement and
regulation speed of 1100 rpm to fully
suspend the sample/buffer in the
media during incubation.

Safely secure the PreDictor plate and the collection plate

on the microplate shaker. For example, use a rubber band
to secure the plates to each other.

Centrifuge

Centrifuge within 300 to 500 g (max 700 g) for 1 min

or until all liquid is removed. If liquid is left in the wells after
centrifugation, increase the speed (max 700 g) and
centrifuge for another 1 min.

18

Tips and tricks

Vacuum
manifold

Designed and optimized for vacuum

filtration of 96-well PreDictor plates
(for PreDictor size, see Table 4.2).

The distance between the bottom of the PreDictor and the

top of the collection plate in the vacuum manifold should
be about 5 mm to avoid cross contamination in the
collection plate during vacuum filtration. Place an appropriate spacer block into the lower chamber of the vacuum
manifold to reduce the distance between the plates.
Place the PreDictor plate on the vacuum manifold. Set the
vacuum within -0.15 to -0.5 bar. Apply vacuum until all
solution is removed.

Reagent
reservoir

Use an 8-, 48- or 96-well deep well

reservoir for buffer/solution
preparation.

Prepare a separate 48- or 96-well deep well plate with the

appropriate solutions in order to facilitate the transfer of
solutions according to the experimental plan.
Seal the deep well plate filled with prepared solutions with
an appropriate plate seal or sealing tape to reuse the
solutions.

Use a reagent reservoir with v-shaped Use a reagent reservoir with a v-shaped bottom to allow
bottom for buffer/solution preparation, easy withdrawal of solution and to minimize the volume
(manual handling).
of liquid needed for pipetting. When pipetting the same
buffer/solution in the whole PreDictor, use a reagent
reservoir filled with solution.
Blotting tissue

Use a soft paper tissue.

To remove drops of liquid that may have accumulated on

the bottom of the PreDictor plate, blot the bottom of the
PreDictor plate after centrifugation/vacuum filtration in
the last equilibration step before sample loading. Blotting
can be added in other steps as well. Blotting is important
to minimize the risk of leakage of liquid through the filter
in the plate.

Sample preparation
We recommend applying a clarified sample to PreDictor plates, since unclarified
sample may cause clogging of the filters in the bottom of the wells. Include
centrifugation and/or filtration steps after mechanical and/or chemical lysation
of the sample.
Before starting screening for HIC conditions, establish the salt window for the
sample. For example add increasing amount of salts to the sample in order to
establish the concentration at which the precipitation occurs. Make sure that the
sample is below this salt concentration before starting the screening experiments.
Adjust the sample to the salt concentration of the binding buffers to promote
hydrophobic interaction.

5 Advice on handling

Working with aqueous solutions

containing detergents
PreDictor plates are compatible with all aqueous solutions commonly used in
purification of biopharmaceuticals. With solutions containing detergents it should
be emphasized that some detergents may induce leakage of liquid through the
filter in the PreDictor plate. The probability of leakage increases when using
detergents with low surface tension. In general, the number of times the detergent
passes through the filter in the PreDictor plate should be minimized to avoid
leakage through the filter.

Recommendations to minimize leakage when working with detergents

Avoid use of detergent in equilibration buffer and preferably also in the sample,
especially when loading multiple aliquots.

If detergents must be included in the equilibration buffer and/or in the sample,

add it only to the last equilibration step and avoid incubating the sample longer
than 1.5 h.

Minimize the number of sample loadings by carefully choosing a PreDictor

plate with appropriate media volume, see Table 3.1.

In cases of persistent leakage, consider using a different detergent.

Experimental setup
PreDictor plates are designed for efficient screening. When using the highthroughput process development (HTPD) approach in PreDictor plates, it is therefore
suggested to screen a broader range of process parameters than usually is done
when working with columns.
By using Design of Experiments (DoE) for the experimental set-up, many different
chromatographic conditions (factors) can be efficiently screened simultaneously
in PreDictor. DoE employs statistics to identify and define the factors having the
greatest impact on the process/product. For experimental set-up and data evaluation the software Assist is recommended, see Assist software, on page 22.

Examples of conditions to be screened

Salt type

Buffer species

Additives

HTPD workflow increases the number of samples to analyze. One plate produces
at least 96 samples for analysis. Consider suitable analytical methods, for example
UV absorbance, ELISA, Biacore based assays (real time SPR), etc.
One product package containing 4 PreDictor plates is sufficient to perform for
example 128 runs in a study using triplicates. We recommend replicates to allow
for outlier analysis. For larger studies, preferably use PreDictor plates from the
same lot.
Examples of experimental set-ups are described in PreDictor plate application
notes, see Chapter 8 Ordering information, on page 34.

Sample incubation time

Sample incubation time for most studies is 30 to 60 min. With adsorption isotherm
plates longer incubation times are needed, 2 to 6 h as data under equilibrium
conditions are to be collected. If the effect of incubation time is to be studied a
time range of 2 to 60 min is recommended.
The reason for apparently long incubation times in plates as compared to residence
time in column chromatography relates to the differences in the techniques. The
incubation time corresponds better to the loading time in columns since this reflects
to total time the media particles are in contact with the sample, see handbook,
High-throughput process development with PreDictor plates, for details.

Experimental setup
The experimental design is set by defining variation of experimental conditions
such as buffer system, pH and salt concentration. The user enters this information
to the Assist software which suggests an experimental design. The software
generates one or more plate layouts of which the user selects one. The plate layout
defines the distribution of experimental conditions across wells. Documentation
of the selected experimental design, such as protocol and lab instructions is also
generated.

Data management
After the experiment has been performed it is possible to load plate data, view
replicates and exclude outliers.

Data analysis
In data analysis it is possible to calculate and visualize mass balance, adsorption
isotherms, response surfaces and response curves. Data analysis will show how
experimental conditions affect yield, binding capacity, recovery etc.

6 Protocol

Protocol
The protocol is designed as a general guideline for working with PreDictor plates.
Optimization may be required depending on sample, type of study, and
chromatography medium volume in wells. The PreDictor plates can be operated
manually by using a multichannel pipette or in robotic systems. Removal of liquid
can be performed either by centrifugation or vacuum filtration.
There is an instruction video, Learn more about how to work with PreDictor plates,
available at: www.gelifesciences.com/predictor

General considerations
Storage
Upon storage, some of the storage solution may diffuse through the bottom filter
of the PreDictor plates. This is seen as droplets on the bottom foil when the foil is
removed. This diffusion is a very slow process that is likely caused by the relatively
low surface tension of the ethanol solution. As soon as the plate has been rinsed
with a full aqueous phase, e.g. water or equilibration buffer with higher surface
tension, the membrane prohibits liquid transport and plates can be used with
confidence that no leakage will occur during normal experimentation.

Automated operation
The Detailed protocol, on page 25 refers to manual operation. For automated
operation using a robotic system, make sure that the robot is adequately equipped
to support the individual steps in the protocol.

Opening PreDictor plate

It is important to carefully follow instructions for steps 1 and 2 in the protocol, see
Detailed protocol, on page 25. If not followed there is a risk that chromatography
media remains attached to the top seal.

PreDictor plates Instructions 28-9258-34 AK

6 Protocol

Leakage
To minimize risk of leakage through the bottom filter, it is important to:

Avoid direct contact between the PreDictor plate outlets (the drips on the
bottom) and any surface. Always keep the PreDictor plate on a collection plate,
see Related products, on page 37, or on an other appropriate spacer
throughout the workflow.

Blot the bottom of the PreDictor plate on a soft paper tissue after centrifugation
or vacuum filtration in the last equilibration step before sample loading. After
blotting, the PreDictor plate must be put on a collection plate (see Chapter 8
Ordering information, on page 34) or an other appropriate spacer before further
operation.

Make sure that the PreDictor plate and the collection plate are fixed to each
other during mixing (see Mixing below). If the PreDictor plate outlets (the drips)
rub against the edges of the collection plate wells, leakage may occur.

Contamination

Always put the PreDictor plate on a collection plate (see Related products, on
page 37) or other spacer to minimize risk of contamination.

Avoid putting the PreDictor plate directly on the lab bench or other surface.

Evaporation
To reduce evaporation effects when using incubation times longer than 1 hour,
consider to cover the PreDictor plate using a self-adhesive microplate foil (see
Related products, on page 37) or an other appropriate 96-well cover.

Mixing
The PreDictor plate and the collection plate must be fixed to each other and to
the microplate shaker during mixing. If the PreDictor plate outlets (the drips) rub
against the edges of the collection plate wells, leakage may occur. For example,
use a rubber band to secure the plates to each other and to the microplate shaker.

Sample and solution addition to PreDictor plates

In order to minimize loading generated artefacts, add samples, buffers and solutions to the whole PreDictor plate without delay.
