Why electron-activated dissociation (EAD) improves sequence variant analysis in biopharma LC/MS workflows by Roxana McCloskey | Apr 29, 2026 | Biopharma, BlogsIn biopharmaceutical development, sequence variants (SV) are considered an inherent risk of producing complex proteins in living systems. Sequence variants are unintended changes to the amino acid sequence of a biotherapeutic and can be caused by errors in transcription or translation in the host cell, or cell culture and process conditions. Detailed analysis of SVs is important in process and product development to ensure the drug’s safety and efficacy. Even low‑level sequence variants can have significant implications for product quality, safety, and efficacy, making their accurate detection and characterization a critical requirement across development, process optimization, and regulatory submission.
How NFD improves impurity detection and peak integration in CE SDS workflows by Roxana McCloskey | Apr 28, 2026 | Biopharma, BioPhase 8800 system, BlogsCE‑SDS remains a cornerstone assay for characterizing fragmentation, aggregation, and product‑related impurities in therapeutic proteins. UV detection has been the long‑standing standard. However, it frequently struggles with baseline noise, limited sensitivity for minor fragments, and subjective integration.
CE‑SDS in monoclonal antibody therapeutic development by Roxana McCloskey | Mar 31, 2026 | Biopharma, BioPhase 8800 system, BlogsIn monoclonal antibody (mAb) development, assessment of purity and integrity of the protein in question is critical. CE‑SDS is the gold standard assay and is routinely run from analytical development through QC and lot release. It’s trusted because it consistently delivers quantitative, size‑based insight into purity and fragmentation, and it fits naturally into regulated environments.
