Event Overview:

Because a product quality attribute (PQA) may impact efficacy and safety, the color of a protein therapeutic under process development, and any changes to that color require close monitoring. Establishing multi-attribute methodology (MAM) to track the cause of color change facilitates efficiency in this monitoring by enabling rapid hot spot analysis for the continued development of the drug. This webinar discusses the use of a LC-MS workflow for detailed peptide mapping of PTMs to:

• Define potential PQAs associated with color change
• Investigate the link between color change and advanced glycan end products (AGEs)
• Characterize and localize AGEs linked to color change
• Establish a MAM to quantitatively track AGEs

Key Learning Objectives:

• Learn how to establish potential CQAs through in-depth characterization.
• Discover the benefits of electron activated dissociation mass spectrometry for characterizing labile PTMs.
• Develop and implement novel workflows to respond to new challenges.

Who Should Attend:

• Biopharma Scientists, QC scientists, Process Control scientist, Analytical development labs, Cell Line development scientists, Early development
