Event Overview:
Liquid chromatography (LC) technologies continue to evolve as analytical demands grow across large-molecule drugs, biotherapeutic, and cell and gene therapy (CGT) applications. This expert-led webinar explores current advancements in (U)HPLC and LC-MS, highlighting how each technique addresses the increasingly complex analytical landscape.
The session will also delve into the unique analytical complexities of biotherapeutic and CGT platforms and how modern LC-MS workflows enhance specificity, sensitivity, and structural elucidation. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how chromatography and LC-MS are shaping quality, safety, and efficacy assessment in next-generation therapeutics.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Identify current trends driving the adoption of LC-MS for large-molecule biotherapeutics and CGT development, manufacturing, and quality control.
- Learn how LC-MS workflows are applied to characterize complex biologics.
- Understand how LC-MS supports quality, safety, and regulatory expectations for biotherapeutic and CGT products.
Who Should Attend:
- Pharmaceutical and biotech roles: VP of manufacturing, lab manager/director, senior scientist, scientist, QA/QC director, process development engineer, senior analytical scientist, analytical scientist
- Roles in academia: Analytical chemist, biochemist
