Beckman in 1935 with the invention of the pH meter, a project initiated from a colleague’s need to monitor the acidity of citrus juice. Since then, Beckman Coulter has grown into a 1.8 billion-dollar corporation with many scientific firsts to its credit. Commercial electrophoresis systems were first introduced by Beckman in 1953 with the development of the Model H, a Tiselius cell with Schlieren photography and advanced optics. Since that time electrophoresis has played an important role in Beckman’s bioresearch and clinical diagnostic developments. Beckman’s contributions to capillary electrophoresis (CE) began in 1989 with the launch of the P/ACE 2000. This instrumentation boasted many CE firsts including a cartridge design with liquid thermostating of the capillary, micropreparative fraction collection and automated personal computer control. Since the introduction of the P/ACE, Beckman Coulter has been the acknowledged leader in the development of CE technology with advancements in hardware, software and chemistry. These advancements included laser-induced fluorescence, diode-array detection, independent sample and buffer temperature control, advanced CE data reduction and a myriad of CE chemistries. These advancements soon moved from generic CE to applied instrumentation first seen with the release of the Paragon CZE 2000, a multi-capillary system for automated serum protein analysis in clinical diagnostics. This was soon followed by the P/ACE MDQ, a rugged line of instrumentation for pharmaceutical/biotechnology methods development and quality control. The CEQ 2000XL, a multi-capillary fully automated DNA Sequencing System, the dual-wavelength P/ACE MDQ LIF detection system, and the P/ACE MDQ-LCQ CE-MS/MS system are the newest additions. Beckman Coulter continues to lead the field of capillary electrophoresis, strongly committed to further CE research and development. Our direction is guided by you, to apply this core technology to systems providing key analytical solutions.

High voltages are used to separate molecules based on differences in charge, size and hydrophobicity. Injection into the capillary is accomplished by immersing the end of the capillary into a sample vial and applying pressure, vacuum or voltage. Depending on the types of capillary and buffers, CE can be segmented into several separation techniques. Examples of these include: CAPILLARY ZONE ELECTROPHORESIS (CZE), also known as free-solution CE (FSCE), is the simplest form of CE. The separation mechanism is based on differences in the charge-to-mass ratio of the analytes. Fundamental to CZE are homogeneity of the buffer solution and constant field strength throughout the length of the capillary. The separation relies principally on the pHcontrolled dissociation of acidic groups on the solute or the protonation of basic functions on the solute. CAPILLARY GEL ELECTROPHORESIS (CGE) is the adaptation of traditional gel electrophoresis into the capillary using polymers in solution as a molecular sieve. This allows solutes having similar charge-to-mass ratios to be resolved by size. CAPILLARY ISOELECTRIC FOCUSING (CIEF) allows amphoteric molecules, such as proteins, to be separated by electrophoresis in a pH gradient generated between the cathode and anode. A solute will migrate to a point where its net charge is zero. At this isoelectric point (the solute’s pI), migration stops and the sample is focused into a tight zone. In cIEF, once a solute has focused at its pI, the zone is mobilized past the detector by either pressure or chemical means. ISOTACHOPHORESIS (ITP) is a focusing technique based on the migration of the sample components between leading and terminating electrolytes. Solutes having mobilities intermediate to those of the leading and terminating electrolytes stack into sharp, focused zones. Although it is used as a mode of separation, transient ITP has been used primarily as a concentration technique. ELECTROKINETIC CHROMATOGRAPHY (EKC) is a family of electrophoresis techniques named after electrokinetic phenomena, which include electroosmosis, electrophoresis and chromatography. A key example of this is seen with cyclodextrin-mediated EKC. Here the differential interaction of enantiomers with the cyclodextrins in combination with an electrophoretic field allows for the separation of chiral compounds. MICELLAR ELECTROKINETIC CAPILLARY CHROMATOGRAPHY (MECC OR MEKC) is a mode of electrokinetic chromatography in which surfactants are added to the buffer solution at concentrations which form micelles. The separation principle of MEKC is based on a differential partition between the micelle and the solvent. This principle can be employed with charged or neutral solutes and may involve stationary or mobile micelles. MEKC has great utility in separating mixtures which contain both ionic and neutral solutes. CAPILLARY ELECTROCHROMATOGRAPHY (CEC) is a hybrid separation method that couples the high separation efficiency of CZE with HPLC, and uses an electric field rather than hydraulic pressure to propel the mobile phase through a packed bed. Since there is minimal backpressure, it is possible to use small-diameter packings and achieve very high efficiencies. NON-AQUEOUS CAPILLARY ELECTROPHORESIS (NACE) involves the separation of analytes in a medium composed of organic solvents. The viscosity and dielectric constants of organic solvents affect both sample ion mobility and the level of electroosmotic flow. The use of non-aqueous medium allows additional selectivity options in methods development and is also valuable for the separation of waterinsoluble compounds. ` Summary Block diagram of basic CE system. The magnified view depicts the capillary interior with molecules of different size and charge separating. As illustrated, in free-solution capillary electrophoresis, the positive molecules migrate toward the negative electrode while the electroosmotic flow carries the neutral and negatively charged molecules in the same direction. Beckman Coulter Contents The large selection of separation mechanisms combined with its “in solution” approach has allowed capillary electrophoresis to excel where many analytical techniques have failed. CE has been successful primarily with complex hydrophilic macromolecules and highly charged solutes. These techniques have led to the rapid separation and quantitation of: • Nucleic Acids • Proteins • Glycoproteins • Peptides • Carbohydrates • Basic Pharmaceuticals • Chiral Isomers • Inorganic and Organic Ions Index 4 THE BECKMAN COULTER FAMILY OF CE SYSTEMS Beckman Coulter’s history, knowledge and leadership in Capillary Electrophoresis has lead to the creation of the P/ACE and CEQ product lines. From its first commercial instrument shipment in 1989, Beckman Coulter’s leadership has established the largest productive base of CE instruments and users in the world. CE product development has been guided by suggestions from this large customer base as well as collaborative work with experts in the field. The present CE family is the result of these efforts. SUMMARY The P/ACE Series are automated, programmable capillary electrophoresis systems designed to perform fast separations from complex samples. Separations occur in a capillary which is housed in an interchangeable cartridge with circulating liquid coolant for efficient temperature control. This finely regulated temperature control allows the use of highionic-strength buffers and large-bore capillaries necessary for analyzing difficult samples. With CE, methods are fast to develop, easy to validate, and cost effective to run. However, specialized system designs are required to optimize performance for different applications. To address these needs, Beckman offers a family of CE instruments developed to apply CE technology to a variety of challenging applications. Each system includes components necessary to begin immediate operation, such as vials, capillaries, and test mix. All systems include installation and basic training by qualified Field Service Engineers.

The goal is to choose a surface which will not interact with the sample and, depending upon the application, one which will either reduce or induce electroosmotic flow. Beckman Coulter offers a choice of several types of capillaries, which range in surface chemistry allowing a variety of samples to be analyzed including pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, chiral drugs, nucleic acids, amino acids, proteins and peptides. These capillaries are available in defined lengths, which may be trimmed to optimize instrument type, speed and resolution. NEUTRAL SURFACES Neutral surfaces are designed to coat the exposed silanol groups on the fused silica and serve two major functions: 1) to reduce electroosmotic flow, and 2) to prevent wall interaction with the sample. However, not all neutral surfaces are the same and it is important to understand what the surface is composed of to ensure that other interactions (i.e., hydrophobic) do not replace the ionic interactions you are trying to reduce. For example, when using a neutral capillary with a surface consisting of a hydrophobic bonded phase, it is essential to include hydrophilic polymers in the buffer to prevent hydrophobic interactions. The following is a list of neutral surfaces that are available from Beckman Coulter. All of these surfaces are bi-layers, consisting first of a bonded phase to shield the silanol groups followed by a hydrophilic polymer to prevent hydrophobic interaction. PART NUMBER DESCRIPTION eCAP™ Neutral Capillary, 50 µm I.D., 45 cm total length, 12 cm from window to outlet (quantity 1) The neutral capillary utilizes a secondary layer of polyacrylamide to generate a hydrophilic surface. This is a general purpose capillary, which Beckman Coulter recommends as a starting point for handling complex samples like proteins or basic molecules. Polyacrylamide surfaces are recommended for use with both UV and LIF detection systems but may show some reduction in capillary life with diodearray detection systems. 477441 eCAP N-CHO Capillary, 50 µm I.D., 65 cm total length, 12 cm from window to outlet (quantity 1) The N-CHO capillary utilizes a secondary layer composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). This surface is ideal for the separation of complex samples like proteins or basic pharmaceuticals in cases where minimal EOF is desired. PVA is a very rugged surface, which is stable with UV, LIF and diode array detection systems. However, due to the chemical nature of PVA, it is not recommended for use with borate buffer systems, as the borate ion will complex with the surface. This capillary has been featured in the Carbohydrate Labeling and Analysis Kit (P/N 477600). 477601 Beckman Coulter Contents Index 15 CE SUPPLIES NEUTRAL SURFACES (CONTINUED) PART NUMBER DESCRIPTION 241521 eCAP™ Neutral Capillary (SDS-MW), 100 µm I.D., 65 cm total length, 12 cm from window to outlet (quantity 1) This capillary has been optimized for use with the eCAP SDS 14-200 kit (separation of proteins by molecular weight).

Beckman Coulter Contents Index 16 CE SUPPLIES AMINE SURFACES Although basic compounds can be analyzed effectively at low pH, there are circumstances where one may wish to operate at a higher pH to better differentiate sample mobility, effect solubility or induce electroosmotic flow. The amine capillary was generated for this purpose. The Beckman Coulter amine capillary utilizes a dynamic coating that, by washing with the amine regenerator between runs, assures a uniform capillary coating from run to run. This capillary has been used effectively for basic proteins, basic drugs and even for the separation of glycoforms. The surface is a cross-linked polymer with a quaternary ammonium ion providing a uniform positively charged surface and a consistent electroosmotic flow.

These kits increase productivity by speeding up the methods development process and ensuring consistent reagent performance. Each kit contains the capillaries, buffers, standards and instructions necessary for the analysis. The standard test protocols allow for rapid suitability testing of the capillary prior to the analysis of the chosen analyte.

The key to separating enantiomers is to first create diastereomers from the enantiomers. Diastereomers may be created through chemical derivatization with a “chiral” reagent, or they may be formed transiently through interactions with chiral selectors. The latter is usually the most desirable as it is the easiest to employ. Capillary electrophoresis has proven the most ideal analytical tool for this purpose, as it is simple to construct and modify a chiral environment within a capillary. The use of cyclodextrins for differential host-guest complexation of enantiomers is by far the most common chiral selector and is the basis of the chiral separation strategy that we propose. Beckman Coulter’s primary strategy focuses on the use of highly sulfated cyclodextrins (HSCDs) which are a family of three chiral reagents. This strategy first involves screening the compound for separation using all three (α, β, and γ) HSCDs and then optimizing on the reagent which yields the best resolution. This initial screen involves the use of a single method and has been successful in greater than 90% of the compounds that Beckman Coulter has analyzed. PRIMARY STRATEGY Primary Screen • 50 µm bare fused silica Capillary – 20 cm to Detector • • • • • Polarity – anode at detector Detection – 200 nm Buffer – 50 nM phosphate pH. 2.5 Selector – α, β and γ HSCD 15 kV constant voltage YES Use CD which gave best resolution and vary concentration Further optimize temperature column length, field strength Did you achieve Resolution?

These distributions were preferentially selected over single isomers to provide increased resolution under defined separation conditions. These products perform well for the analysis of many neutral, basic and weakly acidic compounds of pharmaceutical and biological interest. To ensure batch-to-batch consistency, Beckman Coulter has developed a process which generates the final product as a 20% w/v solution of the HSCDs. Our processes in combination with a very rigorous quality control program ensure consistent matching of all lots to a Gold standard.

Beckman Coulter Contents Index 26 CE APPLICATION KITS P R O T E I N A N A LY S I S Proteins make up one of the most analytically challenging group of compounds due to their complexity and charge heterogeneity. Yet CE has been an ideal analytical tool for this class of compounds. As there is no one single methodology that can cover all proteins, Beckman Coulter has put together a series of methods development kits to help you design CE methodology for protein analysis. These kits are developed as “getting started” chemistries and include 1) an isoelectric focusing kit which offers a general screen of a broad range of isoelectric points, 2) a kit to allow the separation of proteins by size using methodology analogous to SDS-PAGE, and 3) a capillary zone electrophoresis methods development kit, utilizing a neutral capillary coating to minimize protein interaction with the wall. PART N UMBER D ESCRIPTION 477490 eCAP™ cIEF 3-10 Screening Kit Isoelectric focusing (IEF) is commonly used in both research and industrial settings for purity assessment, identity, monitoring of degradation products, and microheterogeneity analysis.

The ampholyte in this kit covers a wide range from pH 3.0 to 10.0. This will provide a good starting range to allow for screening for the pI in a single run. Resolution of proteins with as little as 0.05 pI unit differences are possible using the eCAP Neutral Capillary which minimizes EOF and provides sharp, focused zones.

Beckman Coulter has automated SDS molecular weight and purity determinations with the development of the eCAP SDS 14-200 Kit. With CE, proteins are detected directly using UV detection at 214 nm, resulting in accurate quantitation without the need for staining. Results are obtained in only 15 minutes, with no gel preparation. Samples are treated in the same manner as SDS-PAGE: heat denaturation in the presence of SDS and optional disulfide bond reduction with β-mercaptoethanol. The separation is by capillary gel electrophoresis using a formulation of polyethylene oxides optimized for the resolution of proteins from 14,000 to 200,000 daltons. A polyacrylamide coated neutral capillary is used to eliminate EOF and minimize sample interaction with the wall. This results in very reproducible separations with run-to-run, day-to-day migration time RSDs less than 1%. The capillary coating is robust, allowing acid washes between each run. The gel (buffer) is replaceable, allowing a “fresh start” with each sample. With glycoproteins, discrepancies in molecular weight can be minimized with the use of the Ferguson method. The gel buffer can be easily diluted and placed in the autosampler at several different concentrations, allowing the Ferguson analysis to be automated. Each kit contains a neutral capillary, buffers, test mix and markers to perform at least 200 runs.

With capillary zone electrophoresis, analytes are resolved due to differences in expressed charge relative to mass. A protein’s pI, its solubility state, presence of prosthetic groups or extent of glycosylation will all impact the choice of the appropriate buffer for the CZE analysis. Moreover, at neutral to basic pH, the surface of the capillary is highly charged and can act as an adsorptive surface for many proteins.
