Abstract
The present invention is a method of purifying recombinant human serum albumin (rHSA) from a solution, which method comprises to subject a cell culture supernatant (CCS) comprising rHSA cation exchange on a bimodal high salt tolerant matrix; hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC); anion exchange; and recovering the purified rHSA. The bimodal high salt tolerant cation exchange matrix used enables performing a purification of a cell culture supernatant directly, in the sense that no further dilution thereof is necessary. Due to its high binding capacity, said bimodal cation exchange matrix also allows use of a smaller amount of matrix as compared to a corresponding conventional cation exchanger matrix. Accordingly, the present invention allows substantial savings as regards volumes and consequently operation costs.
