Size Exclusion Chromatography:
How to Select an SEC Column and Optimize a Method
About this webinar
Biotherapeutic development is a critical component of drug manufacturer pipelines as the pharmaceutical industry moves toward more targeted therapies. Liquid chromatography plays an important role in biotherapeutic development as it assists in identity and purity assessments. Aggregation of protein-based therapeutics is the most common critical quality attribute (CQA) analyzed through the drug development process. Because aggregation is so important, there is an abundance of size exclusion chromatography (SEC) options on the market that can determine levels of aggregation of a protein biotherapeutic. Because each SEC column possesses unique properties, methods must be adjusted to match the column choice. This free webinar will cover the basics of size exclusion chromatography, how to select an SEC column and method development considerations for protein aggregate analysis.
