The improvements in LC-MS technology under GxP compliant-ready informatics for biopharmaceutical analysis has prepared the industry to expand the role of MS technologies beyond product characterization toward monitoring product and process quality attributes.
In biotherapeutics, the state of glycosylation has a direct and pronounced effect of the structure, stability, serum half-life, immunogeneicity and bioactivity of the molecule, and constitutes a critical quality attribute (CQA). In our study, characterizing and comparing the glycosylation profile of infliximab began by examining the glycosylation profiles from intact and reduced subunit mass data.
Advancements in High-Resolution Analytics for Characterization of Innovator and Biosimilar Therapeutics Part 2: Peptide Analysis of Infliximab
Advancements in High-Resolution Analytics for the Characterization of Innovator and Biosimilar Therapeutics As the pharmaceutical industry continues to evolve its focus from small-molecule drugs to balanced product portfolios that include protein therapeutics, analytical chemists are… Read more >
As regulators focus in on the critical quality attributes of biotherapeutics, what can biopharmaceutical labs in late development or QC do to increase confidence in their bioseparations – other than to run more assays?
