Biologics Characterization: Intact and Subunit Mass Analysis

Jul 20, 2018 | Biopharma, Blogs | 0 comments

When All You Need Is Range – Mass Range, Dynamic Range, and the Complete Range

Launching the best possible product in the shortest time possible is key for pharmaceutical companies like you. As you know, nearly every process throughout the biologics development cycle requires an immense amount of analytical characterization; get these processes right and significantly reduce time-to-market.

This blog explores a wide range of biologics characterizations, including intact and subunit protein analysis, to help you address your challenges. For more details, fill out the form on your right to download the full Biotherapeutic Analytical Characterization eBook.

Safeguarding Biotherapeutic Product Quality
The ability to routinely and accurately measure intact and subunit protein mass is a critical step in demonstrating the quality and stability of biologics. Using the appropriate combination analytical methods and techniques can result in significant time and cost savings during product development, obtaining regulatory approval and scaling-up manufacturing.

But biotherapeutics are inherently complex and these large class protein biologics, such as monoclonal antibodies (mAb), are significantly more difficult to characterize than small molecules. Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) and Capillary Electrophoresis Electrospray Ionization-Mass Spectrometry (CESI-MS) have become recognized techniques for biotherapeutic characterization, offering the resolution, sensitivity, and speed to deliver better results and improve lab productivity.

The Complete Range from SCIEX
SCIEX has a range of next-generation technology with the mass range and dynamic range needed to simultaneously detect major and minor isoforms in your intact biotherapeutic. The easy, point-and-click interface of SCIEX OS on the X500B QTOF system makes setup rapid and simple. Or dig deeper into your biotherapeutic products with the high-performance TripleTOF® 6600 System. Our BioPharmaView™ Software balances power and simplicity to bring routine, fast and accurate intact and subunit analysis by mass spectrometry to all laboratories1.

We demonstrate the pure performance, robustness, and stability of our solutions in the Biotherapeutic Analytical Characterization eBook, packed with a range of tech notes and solutions guides, covering:

  • Intact Mass Analysis without Compromise on TripleTOF Mass Spectrometry Platforms
  • Detection of Intact Antibody Impurities

Better mRNA-LNPs: encapsulation efficiency, mRNA integrity and purity, lipid N-oxides and beyond

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are widely used vehicles for mRNA-based therapeutics and vaccines. However, ionizable lipids used in LNPs can be susceptible to N-oxide impurities that can cause functional loss of the mRNA cargo.

Maximize NPS analysis with accurate mass spectrometry

LC-MS/MS is a powerful analytical tool in forensic toxicology testing that can support a variety of testing regimes such as screening, confirmation and quantitative workflows. More specifically, analysis of NPS using LC-MS/MS provides many advantages, including the ability to reliably detect new drugs and their metabolites from a variety of biological matrices.

Unlock the benefits of nominal mass spectrometry for NPS analysis

The development of analytical methods for the detection and quantitation of drugs and metabolites in a range of biological matrices is a challenging process. Forensic toxicology labs need a reproducible and reliable methodology to ensure the robustness of the data and the quality of the results. They also need robust and sensitive instrumentation that can detect drugs at trace levels with high specificity, especially when it comes to novel psychoactive substances (NPS), which can be difficult to monitor and control.
