We present the main analytical techniques for performing functional characterization of biotherapeutic products. Such assessments are particularly critical for biosimilars, where analytical testing must ensure functional comparability with the innovator product.

New analytical workflows are needed to address the advances in biopharmaceutical product composition. A description of the multi-attribute method (MAM) is given, which has been developed to monitor critical quality attributes (CQAs) simultaneously and directly.

IMS is a valuable tool for biopharmaceutical analysis. Two formats in particular have proven useful: cyclic IMS and structures for lossless manipulations (SLIM).
