Monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatment is among the most effective method of diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of diseases, including autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, cancer, and inflammation. There is an extensive development pipeline for protein and mAb therapeutics, emphasizing the need for innovative and efficient analytical tools that result in faster analysis times. This article explores the use of supermacroporous particles for the analysis of mAbs.

To mark the Chromatographic Society’s 60th birthday, The Column interviewed the current President of The Chromatographic Society, Dr. Paul Ferguson, and Associate Principal Scientist for Separation Science at AstraZeneca, Macclesfield, UK, on the past, present, and future of the Chromatographic Society - and separation science.

The increased use of electronic data and computerized systems has introduced new challenges to maintaining data integrity. With regulated companies under increased scrutiny by regulatory authorities, companies need to ensure they have a thorough understanding of their regulated systems and how to assess them for gaps. Waters will provide insight on the current focus for data integrity with specific examples of how to monitor Waters Empower data. We will also provide additional tools and services that can help prepare for internal and external audits.
