Our approach

Alphalyse has pioneered the use of mass spectrometry analysis since 2002. Our scientists have completed over 10,000 characterization analyses, including forced degradation studies and more than 750 LC-MS-based residual/HCP projects.

As a specialist contract research organization, we offer protein analysis services to support biopharmaceutical companies in developing and manufacturing patient-safe products such as mAbs, vaccines, recombinant proteins, and cell & gene therapies.

You can count on us to work closely with you on developing well-characterized biologics by challenging and improving analysis methods using top-of-the-line mass spectrometry technology (LC-MS). Our comprehensive reports will allow you to carry out data-driven process development and regulatory documentation under ICH Q6B guidelines.

What sets us apart

Personal guidance from planning to execution and follow-up

We aim to become an extension of your team and take pride in building strong and rewarding relationships. We are as passionate about helping to develop a safe and effective therapy as you are.

Experts on HCP analysis
Knowledge on mass spectrometry

Expert knowledge and top-of-the-line technology

Our project leaders are mostly PhD graduates, and many came the University of Southern Denmark, renowned for its research on mass spectrometry. We partner with leading instrument companies to ensure that we have access to the newest technology.

Experience with most types of biologics

We continue to advance and refine our techniques based on an ever-growing range of client projects across expression systems and molecules. To date, we have performed more than 10,000 characterization analyses for over 2,000 clients worldwide.
