Event Overview:

Rapid process development and scale-up of novel complex drugs, as well as reliable unit operations during commercial production, require advanced PAT tools, capable of providing timely feedback on product attributes. Real-time multi-angle light scattering (RT-MALS) determines key biophysical product attributes, including molar mass, particle size and particle concentration. These attributes are further indicative of quality attributes such as titer, aggregation and full-empty ratio, and may be used for process control as well as quality monitoring.
This webcast will review the principles, capabilities and limitations of RT-MALS, and then present case studies covering downstream processing (DSP) of viral vectors, proteins and polysaccharides, as well as formulation, production and purification of lipid nanoparticles.

Key Learning Objectives:

  • How RT-MALS measures biophysical product attributes including molar mass, size, aggregation, titer and AAV empty-full ratio
  • How RT-MALS integrates with processing equipment such as FPLC, TFF, reactors, homogenizers and microfluidic LNP formulation systems
  • How RT-MALS optimizes DSP control by monitoring properties of the product, rather than of the process

Who Should Attend:

  • Downstream process development scientists in need of real-time analysis to accelerate development time and minimize off-line sample analyses
  • PAT technologists exploring the latest methods for DSP product attribute monitoring
  • Manufacturing engineers designing PAT-ready production facilities
