N-Glycan Separations: How Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography (HILIC) Columns Affect Data Quality

Join us to learn about Agilent’s latest developmental HILIC column designed for maximum performance in N-glycan separations. In this webinar we’ll discuss how HILIC column selection plays a key role in generating useful N-glycan profile data when analyzing glycosylation of biotherapeutic glycoproteins. Data will also be presented which shows differences in separation performance among commercially available HILIC columns targeted at N-glycan analysis.

Event Overview.

Glycosylation can be a critical quality attribute (CQA) or product quality attribute (PQA) of biotherapeutic proteins, as the structure of N-linked glycans can influence protein function. Analysis of released N-glycans labeled with a dye that facilitates hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) with detection by fluorescence (FLD) and/or mass spectrometry (MS) is a commonly used approach. The selection of an appropriate HILIC column for these separations is critical to ensure that glycans in complex mixtures are well-separated with minimal coelutions. Robustness in peak shape, retention time, and overall column lifetime are also often cited as important factors in choosing a suitable column.

This webinar will:

• Present data on biotherapeutic molecules showing the N-glycan separation performance of Agilent’s latest developmental HILIC LC column
• Provide comparisons of key N-glycan separations alongside other popular columns
• Discuss key factors in column selection, such as selectivity, coelutions, peak shape, temperature stability, and longevity
• Discuss how mobile phase composition can affect N-glycan charge group selectivity
• Comparisons of MS and FLD response

Key Learning Objectives

• Effects of column performance on N-glycan data analysis and data quality
• Similarities and differences between HILIC LC columns from different manufacturers
• Effects of mobile phase composition on N-glycan profile and separations

Who Should Attend

• Biopharma analytical development scientists
• Biopharma research and development scientists
