Proteomic analysis can be a critical bottleneck in cellular characterization. The current paradigm relies primarily on mass spectrometry of peptides and affinity reagents (i.e. antibodies), both of which require a priori knowledge of the sample. A non

Numerous particle sizing and counting methods exist for measuring particles in the submicrometer, subvisible, and visible size range. This article will briefly describe some key aspects that need to be considered for the most commonly used methods in order
A pulsed element is proposed allowing the selective inversion of a single 1H nucleus, without regard to the presence of other degenerate 1H nuclei, provided that it is coupled to a heteronuclear spin with adequate chemical shift resolution in a 2D

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a class of biotherapeutic drugs designed as targeted therapies for the treatment of cancer. Among the challenges in generating an effective ADC is the choice of an effective conjugation site on the IgG. One common method
Dynamic imaging analysis instruments are used for sizing particles of different types that might appear in a biopharmaceutical. These instruments are calibrated using polystyrene latex microspheres in water, which is a significantly different system than

Glycosylation is a topic of intense current interest in the development of biologic drugs since it is related to drug safety and efficacy. This work describes results of an interlaboratory study on the glycosylation of NISTmAb, a monoclonal antibody
The higher order structure (HOS) of biotherapeutics is essential for drug safety and efficacy and can be evaluated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy at atomic resolution. NMR spectral fingerprinting techniques based on 2D heteronuclear
