Comprehensive characterization of biotherapeutics requires advanced analytical strategies capable of detecting and identifying low-abundant product quality attributes (PQAs), including post-translational modifications, aggregates, sequence variants, and conjugation sites. This eBook presents three technical articles demonstrating advanced LC-MS workflows that achieve up to 10X improvement in MS sensitivity for trace-level detection and confident identification of these challenging attributes.
Liquid chromatography–ion mobility spectrometry–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–IMS–HRMS) shows elephant seal pups carry more PFAS than their mothers do.
This week's Chromatography Online highlights include olive waste antioxidant recovery, food and tea analysis, EV isolation, mRNA vaccine purification, perfusion chromatography for oligonucleotides, mass spectrometry in teaching and career advice from “Women in Chromatography.”
Kinjal Bhatt and Ina Varfaj call AI a chromatography equalizer only if training and access keep pace, framing the risk as implementation, not technology.
Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) reveal lasting brain cholesterol loss after myelin damage.
Kinjal Bhatt would expose early-career scientists to the field sooner, while Ina Varfaj says a broken chromatography column taught her failure is normal.
