It’s fair to say that now is a time of change throughout the world. I often find myself pondering what the future will hold. We see change on many levels, from macro trends such as political and econo...
My background is in high resolution mass spectrometry (MS). Proteins, peptides, small molecules, clean or dirty matrix, you name it; I’ll have a crack at analyzing it with a mass spectrometer. With a ...
The road to drug approval is a long and bumpy one. It’s estimated that a drug takes at least 10 years to make the journey from discovery to the market. The overwhelming majority of drugs will not comp...
Coming from a small molecule background, biotherapeutics just don’t interest me. Not one bit. They are big, a pain to analyse and it’s bothersome to listen to the struggles faced by those working with...
Everyone knows the story of the last buggy-whip salesman - Transport by horse and carriage worked fine for millennia. Then the motor car came along, and many in society stayed with their faithful equi...
Is The Answer To Ever Increasing Biotherapeutic Complexity Simple?In recent years biopharmaceuticals (protein-based pharmaceuticals, manufactured by biotechnological methods) have become successful bo...
When it comes to biotherapeutic protein digestion for peptide mapping or large molecule bioanalysis you’ve got a terribly difficult choice: Lengthy, cumbersome and error prone in-solution digestion, O...
Until recently we used a 2-day protocol to characterize proteins, but now with the new immobilized trypsin kit we’re down to 1 hour for large protein such as Immunoglobulin G (IgG).Find out more and w...
