Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography (HILIC) and Direct Online Disruption of Lipid Nanoparticles
May 19th 2025Two proof-of-concept hydrophilic interaction chromatography HILIC) methods were developed in a joint study conducted by the University of Geneva (Switzerland), Sanofi, and the Waters Corporation—one for disrupting LNPs and retaining the mRNA, and another for detecting only unencapsulated mRNA to assess encapsulation efficiency. LCGC International spoke to Jonathan Maurer, first author of the paper that resulted from this study, about the methods and the efforts that led up to their development.
