Recombinant monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) are a growing class of therapeutic molecules. Early in the development of MAbs, a large number of harvest cell culture (HCC) samples must be screened for immunoglobulin G (IgG) titer, aggregations, and charge variants. This study describes a two-dimensional (2D) high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) workflow for afinity, size-exclusion, and ion-exchange analysis.

An Inside Look at the Analytical Method Greenness Score in High Performance Liquid Chromatography Enantioseparations: An Earth Day Interview with Daniel Armstrong

April 22nd 2024
Article

As LCGC International celebrates Earth Day, we spotlight the current chromatographic research that is advancing environmental analysis and sustainability efforts. In this interview, we spoke to Daniel Armstrong, professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Texas at Arlington, about his work using mathematical strategies to minimize analytical method greenness scores (AMGS) in HPLC enantioseparations.
