Charge heterogeneity is present in most biopharmaceutical protein products. During the manufacturing process, charge heterogeneity of the protein therapeutics can occur due to enzymatic cleavage and chemical post-translational modifications (PTM). For therapeutics like ADCs, not only the antibody contributes to the heterogeneity but also the linker and payload, which add even more complexity to the charge variant profiles. Characterizing the charge heterogeneity of ADCs is essential for critical quality attribute (CQA) assessment to ensure drug safety, efficacy, and potency.
Top 10 Cleanroom Problems That Can Be Prevented via Preventative Maintenance (May 2025)
May 16th 2025Cleanrooms require strict environmental control to maintain sterility, prevent contamination, and ensure seamless operations. Without a proactive preventative maintenance (PM) program, various issues can arise, leading to costly downtime, contamination risks, and operational inefficiencies. Below are ten common cleanroom problems that can be effectively mitigated through proper PM practices.
