Oligonucleotides—therapeutic agents for difficult-to-treat diseases—rely on precise molecular weight confirmation to ensure quality during development. Experts from Agilent Technologies explore the challenges of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis in oligonucleotide synthesis, as well as strategies for accurate deconvolution, method development, and optimal equipment selection.

Top-down fragmentation enables rapid characterization of phosphorylated proteins without extensive sample preparation and digestion. In this study, electron capture dissociation (ECD) was used to fragment proteoforms of the cell death-related protein, Bcl-xL. Using these methods, 85–90% sequence coverage was achieved for Bcl-xL proteoforms, allowing for effective localization of phosphorylation within minutes.

Enhanced antibody analysis using electron capture dissociation (ECD) allows for precise glycan localization in low-abundance glycopeptides. This study compares the fragmentation of trastuzumab tryptic digests using ECD and collision-induced dissociation (CID). While CID generates abundant glycan HexNAc ions at 204 m/z, ECD preserves the labile glycan group, enabling accurate site localization.

Chemical characterization of medical devices, including drug-device combination products, is crucial for ensuring regulatory compliance and patient safety by identifying and quantifying chemicals that may interact with the human body. This paper explores current trends, best practices, and regulatory developments in extractables and leachables (E&L) testing for medical devices.

This application note demonstrates the use of the Agilent 1260 Infinity II Hybrid Multisampler for the analysis of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS). The Hybrid Multisampler in feed injection mode was used with optimized Feed Speed for the sample injection to trap and enrich the compounds on the column. This avoided peak broadening and breakthrough of the early-eluting polar PFAS compounds. The less polar PFAS compounds can be enriched for more sensitive quantification.

The US EPA has released interim health advisory limits (HALs) of 4 and 20 pg/L in drinking water for the PFAS perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), respectively. This application note addresses PFAS testing at these challenging new levels in aqueous samples using optimized solid-phase sample extraction and LC/MS/MS analysis with an Agilent 1290 Infinity II liquid chromatography (LC) system coupled to an Agilent 6495C triple quadrupole (TQ) mass spectrometer.
