Lipid nanoparticles and non-viral carriers

Expand the possibilities of drug delivery with innovative analytical solutions for lipid raw materials, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and other non-viral carriers. Move beyond boundaries in structural elucidation and monitoring of analytes to estabilish confidence in the quality and stablity of your products.

Overview

Forge a new path to better lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based gene therapies and vaccines with solutions for lipid structural elucidation that reach unprecedented depth and quantitation accuracy, precision and sensitivity.

Turn ionizable lipid N-oxidation, double-bond saturations and other lipid impurity challenges into opportunities. Join the team to rewrite the rules of lipid analysis with workflows looking beyond the known.

Perspectives:
  • "LNPs pose unique analytical challenges, in part due to the complexity of their lipid excipients. Consequently, the detailed structure elucidation capabilities afforded by electron activated dissociation (EAD) in the SCIEX ZenoTOF 7600 system provide the analytical chemist unparalleled capacity to identify problematic oxidative impurities inside ionizable lipids, and thereby de-risk the LNP therapeutic development process and expedite paths to the clinic."

Lipid structural elucidation

Workflow

Take your journey further with the ability to identify and quantify the lipid impurities present at well below 0.1% relative intensity. 

Workflows with novel fragmentation mechanisms overcome the limitations of traditional techniques, allowing full structural assessment of lipids and their impurities from raw materials and LNPs. Customizable, automated and data-driven solutions for lipid structural elucidation let you break free from the boundaries of drug formulation development.

  • Fully understand the structures of your ionizable lipids and impurities
  • Identify different oxygen incorporations, including N-oxides, saturated double bonds and more
  • Reclaim your time with automatic processing of complex data
  • Find relevant product excipients using state-of-the-art mass spectrometry solutions
