The extraction of therapeutic proteins like monoclonal antibodies in aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) is a suitable alternative to common cost intensive chromatographic purification steps within the downstream processing. Thereby the protein partitioning can be selectively changed using a displacement agent (additional salt) in order to allow for a successful purification of the target protein. Within this work a new shortcut strategy for the calculation of protein partition coefficients in polymer-salt ATPS is presented. The required protein-solute (phase-forming component, displacement agent) interactions are covered by the cross virial coefficientB23measured by composition gradient multi-angle light scattering (CG-MALS). Using this shortcut calculation allows for an efficient determination of the partition coefficients of the target protein immunoglobulin G (IgG) and the impurity human serum albumin (HSA) within PEG-citrate and PEG-phosphate ATPS independently on the protein concentration. We demonstrate that the selection of a suitable displacement agent allowing for a selective purification ofIgGfromHSAis accessible byB23. Based on the determination of the protein–protein interactions via CG-MALS covered by the second osmotic virial coefficientB22a further optimization of ATPS preventing protein precipitation is enabled. The results show that our approach contributes to an efficient downstream processing development.
