Overview
Up the game for ADC analysis
ADC analysis strategies tackle the characterization of the more structurally complex antibody drug conjugates (ADC) that are providing the next level of therapeutics to combat specific conditions.
These molecules have greater heterogeneity compared to unconjugated proteins and have a variable number of linkers and payloads. This enhances the number of proteoforms, making characterization more challenging.
Take control of the information with MS and CE based solutions designed to address the complexity of these next generation therapeutics with increased speed and detail.
In-depth ADC characterization
Dig into the complex structure of an ADC.
Ensuring the quality, safety, and efficacy of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) requires comprehensive characterization of protein sequences, drug payloads, and post-translational modifications (PTMs). Traditional collision-based MS/MS techniques often fail to preserve labile modifications and can cause extensive fragmentation, leading to the loss of valuable site-specific information.
With a signature fragmentation pattern, electron-activated dissociation (EAD)-based workflows allow for in-depth ADC characterization.
Discover LC-MS workflows that can harness the power of EAD for in-depth characterization of ADCs.

Intact ADC characterization
Untangle the charge heterogeneity information of an intact ADC.
Charge heterogeneity is present in most biopharmaceutical protein products. For ADCs, the antibody, linker and payload all contribute to the heterogeneity, adding complexity to the charge variant profiles.
An integrated icIEF-UV/MS workflow enables the simple determination of charge variant profiles while reducing resources and accelerating development timelines. Determine what is driving the change in the charge profile–the payload, the linker or the monoclonal antibody (mAb).
