Bioanalysis, 4(6), 685-691 (2012-03-29)
Bioanalysis of large molecules can be challenging on LC-MS/MS due to multiply charged and endogenous interferences. While high sensitivity triple quadrupole systems (QqQ) have been commercialized recently, high-resolution MS (HRMS) systems are also available. HRMS provides alternative analysis methods, but

Ultraviolet Resonance Raman (UVRR) spectroscopy with excitation at 244 nm was investigated here as a possible useful tool for fast characterization of biopharmaceuticals. Studies were performed on three protein drugs: salmon calcitonin (sCT), starch-peptide conjugate, and transforming growth factor-β3 (TGF-β3)
