Robust monosaccharide and sialic acid assays for biologic drugs
Monosaccharide and sialic acid analysis is applicable to all stages of biopharmaceutical development and manufacturing processes including cell line and clone selection, upstream and downstream process development and manufacturing in-process control, batch consistency and release. Sialic acid and monosaccharide analysis is required by ICH Q6B guidelines for biopharmaceutical characterization.
Thermo Fisher Scientific has proven, sensitive workflows based on high performance anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAE-PAD). Our workflow delivers trace performance for monosaccharides and sialic acids without cumbersome and time consuming labeling protocols.
