A high-throughput multi-capillary electrophoresis glycan analysis method to monitor glycan profiles of and support screening large numbers of samples.
Overview
Glycan analysis provides important information on critical quality attributes (CQAs) that could affect stability, safety and efficacy of a protein therapeutic.
Specific needs in understanding the glycosylation profiles change throughout the drug development process, but the requirement for high-resolution glycan information remains the same and is essential to help ensure product quality.
Address pipeline-specific challenges with glycan analysis workflows based on capillary electrophoresis (CE) and mass spectrometry (MS) to support rapid screening, in-depth characterization and lot-to-lot comparisons.

Confirm glycoform identity with detailed glycosylation analysis
Workflow
Tackle the complex analytical challenges of modern therapeutics.
Intact protein analysis, routinely performed at different stages of monoclonal antibody (mAb) development, is essential for confirming the identity of glycoforms and monitoring product quality. However, increasingly complex glycoform distributions make it challenging to obtain detailed information about glycosylation on complex therapeutic proteins.
LC-MS workflows and data analysis software optimized for biopharma, enable rapid profiling of intact proteins for in-depth characterization. Confident peak assignment and better understanding of the location of glycosylation provide the comprehensive data needed for making critical decisions
