A discussion of how UHPLC is used to conduct intact protein–antibody analysis and glycoprofiling to characterize biopharmaceutical drugs

The development and commercialisation of new medical drugs is a complex and costly process, but increasing pressure is being placed on drug companies to accelerate the timeline from discovery of new drugs, through to clinical trials and then to their release onto the market. The pharmaceutical industry continues to demand ever more advanced products aimed at improving health and the quality of modern-day life.

Janet Kelsey of The Column spoke to Frédéric Cheviron, Sales & Marketing Manager for Chiral Technologies Europe, about the technology they use in drug development and how companies can improve their method development.

The design of strategies to reduce the activity of residual silanols in conventional alkyl-bonded columns is still one of the main challenges in the current separation of basic compounds by reversed-phase liquid chromatography.

Janet Kelsey of The Column spoke to Geofrey K. Wyatt of Wyatt Technology about MALS technology and how standards set by the European Pharmacopoeia dictate the type of instrumentation used for characterizing hydroxyethyl starch for pharmaceutical use. The advantages of using MALS instrumentation are also explained.

The various steps of an experimental design-based approach are considered and the problems that arise from wrong choices are described.
