Characterizing Conjugated Therapeutics: Advanced LC-MS Strategies for PQAs, Aggregates and Conjugation Sites
Author(s)SCIEX
Comprehensive characterization of biotherapeutics requires advanced analytical strategies capable of detecting and identifying low-abundant product quality attributes (PQAs), including post-translational modifications, aggregates, sequence variants, and conjugation sites. This eBook presents three technical articles demonstrating advanced LC-MS workflows that achieve up to 10X improvement in MS sensitivity for trace-level detection and confident identification of these challenging attributes.
