How LC-MS laboratories in regulated environments can build a strong foundation for reliable data, audit readiness and lifecycle control
Whether supporting pharmaceutical quality control, bioanalysis, clinical research, environmental testing, or food safety applications, regulated laboratories share a common responsibility: ensuring reliable data, maintaining audit readiness, and controlling systems throughout their lifecycle. Yet when compliance discussions arise, attention often moves quickly to audits, documentation, electronic records, and standard operating procedures. These elements are essential, but they depend on a more fundamental question: Can the analytical system consistently produce reliable results?

Why traditional MS/MS falls short for ADCs and how electron-activated dissociation (EAD) changes the equation
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are among the most promising—and analytically demanding—modalities in biopharma today. By combining large, heterogeneous antibodies with chemically labile payloads and linkers, ADCs introduce a level of structural complexity that challenges conventional analytical workflows. It also poses the challenge that the very features you need to measure are often the easiest to lose during analysis.

Managing ADC characterization: The challenge of turning complexity into confidence
Unlike traditional monoclonal antibodies, ADCs combine an antibody backbone with linker chemistry and a cytotoxic payload. This multi-component architecture introduces overlapping layers of heterogeneity, including drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) distributions, charge variants, post-translational modifications, and structural changes at both the intact and subunit levels. Across ADC development, these characteristics are considered critical quality attributes that must be characterized, understood, and monitored.
