Host cell protein analysis
The presence of HCPs and added residuals - such as enzymes - may impact the safety and efficiency of your product. We can help you identify and quantify individual process-related impurities in the downstream process. This gives you a detailed risk assessment and enables efficient elimination of these proteins.
Product characterization
Combing the product characterization with an analysis of the process-related impurities gives a more thorough understanding of your molecule. This enables optimization of the process design to ensure the drug product achieves the required safety, purity, and potency attributes.
Biologic drugs
Enables characterization of recombinant
proteins and mAbs
Advanced therapies
Helps you understand impurities in complex products like cell, gene, and bacteriophage treatments
Vaccines
Use for analysis of live attenuated or inactivated
virus and VLP-based products
