It’s Time to Make Sure Your HPLC Suits Your Analytical NeedsMost routine
biopharma analytics labs have standardized equipment; repeat purchase of
the same systems or slightly upgraded models. While th...
More Than MonitoringThe Multi-Attribute Method (MAM) for structural
confirmation of protein therapeutics involves a targeted search of
peptide mapping data using advanced, GMP compliance-ready softwar...
As 2018 draws to a close, it’s been another exciting year in the area of
biopharmaceuticals. We’ve seen further success from immunotherapy based
approaches, new biopharmaceuticals have come to market ...
Synthetic oligonucleotides and peptides are frequently used in both
research and medicinal applications today. Their synthesis is relatively
straightforward, but they undergo quality control to confir...
If you review any charts of the top 10-20 selling drugs over the past
decade you will quickly notice that drugs based on monoclonal antibodies
are now overtaking their small molecule alternatives and ...
I never did like the expression: “killing two birds with one stone.” Why
would anyone want to kill a bird, let alone two!? I do like the idea of

I’d like to start off with one powerful example of why immunotherapy
work is so important. The story comes from Ron Levy’s work to use
antibodies to fight lymphoma. One moving case describes a 36 year...
The bioanalysis of large molecules has continued to grow in significance
with the increase in development of proteins as therapeutic agents. In
particular, the development of monoclonal antibody thera...
I’ve got a personal interest in Alzheimer’s research because I have
family members with the disease, so I’m always looking for breakthroughs
and new studies. I recently read about a Trinity College Du...
Quick question: what is a monoclonal antibody? What does it really do?
If you already work in biotherapeutics, or if your high-school biology
is within memory then you may know. But for the rest of us...
In 2013, seven out of the top ten drugs by revenue were
biopharmaceuticals rather than traditional small-molecule, chemically
synthesized, drugs. What’s more the top three drugs were all biologics
and...
