Post-Translational Modification Analysis of Monoclonal Antibodies

Post-translational modification analysis of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) assesses product consistency, efficacy, and safety. To identify and quantify PTMs in mAbs, mass spectrometry and chromatography are commonly used. High-purity solvents are used to prevent contamination and ensure consistency. HPLC columns separate and quantify different components of the mAb sample. Analytical reagents are used for characterization and detection of mAbs. Glycobiology profiling tools are used to analyze the carbohydrate structures of mAbs.

We offer all the tools you need to monitor and ensure the consistency, quality, and safety of mAbs across various stages of the mAb production workflow.

Viable Air Monitoring
Microbial air monitoring ensures aseptic environments, vital in food, beverage, and cannabis manufacturing.
Sterility Testing
Membrane filtration is preferred for sterility testing of pharmaceuticals, food, tissue materials, and sterile products.
Microbial Culture Media Preparation
Culture media provide essential nutrients and selective inhibitors for microbial growth in various industries.
Bioburden Testing
Bioburden testing measures the levels of microbial contamination in water, raw materials, and finished products.
Media Fills in Microbiology
Media fill is a critical microbiological test carried out to assess the performance of an aseptic manufacturing process by replacing the pharmaceutical or beverage product with a sterile culture medium.
Surface & Personnel Testing
Surface monitoring and personnel monitoring measure the levels of microbial contamination in production areas to control the measures of disinfection routines.
Mass Spectrometry
Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical tool used to identify compounds, determine chemical structure, and assess isotopic abundance. In MS, samples are ionized, and the resulting ions are identified based on their mass-to-charge (m/z) ratios.
Large Molecule HPLC
HPLC separates and identifies large biomolecules like proteins and peptides by pumping the sample through a sorbent-packed column.
