Product characterization

Our aim is to provide you with the best protein analysis service by providing access to our service-minded team of highly experienced and skilled scientists, hand-picked from leading universities and companies. Together, they cover most fields of protein chemistry, mass spectrometry, and bioinformatics. They also apply top-of-the-line equipment and are experts in interpretation of its data for biopharmaceutical protein characterization.

Product characterization

Product and attribute characterization

To comply with ICH Q6B guidelines, regulatory documentation for new protein-based biologic substances and products should provide structural characterization (including truncations, cleavage sites, and major degradants) and an overview of physicochemical properties.

In addition, comparability and stability studies are required for quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC).

Mass spectrometry enables reproducible, quantifiable intact mass analysis, peptide mapping, and amino acid analysis for product and quality attribute characterization.
