Optimizing Chromatographic Conditions for Protein Analysis with theACQUITY UPLC H-Class Bio System
Presented By
Across the pharmaceutical industry, there is growing emphasis on the development of biopharmaceuticals as the next wave of drugs contributing to human health. In this podcast series, we’ll be discussing how chromatographic analyses of biopharmaceuticals, particularly proteins, compare to the more familiar assays of small molecule drugs and the benefits that UPLC® Technology can offer. The types of assays will be described and the basis for choosing them is considered. We’ll also discuss recent developments in ways to improve an analytical method.
Biopharmaceutical proteins are large, complicated molecules and demand multiple modes of analysis to ensure complete characterization of the sample. The choices in developing a separation method interact with detection, particularly in LC/MS. We will describe an experimental approach to optimizing this compromise.

GC–TOF-MS Finds 250 Volatile Compounds in E-Cigarette Liquids
November 1st 2024A study has used gas chromatography coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer to build an electron ionization mass spectra database of more than 250 chemicals classified as either volatile or semi-volatile compounds. An additional, confirmatory layer of liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis was subsequently performed.
AI and GenAI Applications to Help Optimize Purification and Yield of Antibodies From Plasma
October 31st 2024Deriving antibodies from plasma products involves several steps, typically starting from the collection of plasma and ending with the purification of the desired antibodies. These are: plasma collection; plasma pooling; fractionation; antibody purification; concentration and formulation; quality control; and packaging and storage. This process results in a purified antibody product that can be used for therapeutic purposes, diagnostic tests, or research. Each step is critical to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the final product. Applications of AI/GenAI in many of these steps can significantly help in the optimization of purification and yield of the desired antibodies. Some specific use-cases are: selecting and optimizing plasma units for optimized plasma pooling; GenAI solution for enterprise search on internal knowledge portal; analysing and optimizing production batch profitability, inventory, yields; monitoring production batch key performance indicators for outlier identification; monitoring production equipment to predict maintenance events; and reducing quality control laboratory testing turnaround time.
Multivariate Design of Experiments for Gas Chromatographic Analysis
November 1st 2024Recent advances in green chemistry have made multivariate experimental design popular in sample preparation development. This approach helps reduce the number of measurements and data for evaluation and can be useful for method development in gas chromatography.
