Advanced Analytical Methods for Oligonucleotide ID Testing in Pharmaceuticals QC (Jan)

After a short introduction to oligonucleotides, this webinar will focus on the sequence-specific method and provide a deep dive into the UV-spectrometric determination of the oligonucleotide melting temperature (Tm) using the Agilent Cary 3500 UV-Vis.

Event Overview:

This webinar will discuss the adverse impact of particulate matter and aggregates for immunogenicity and the need to improve the characterization of submicron aggregates/particles in biopharmaceuticals. Optical Photothermal Infrared (O-PTIR) technology will be reviewed. The benefits of O-PTIR to perform nondestructive, simultaneous infrared (IR)/Raman measurements with submicron spatial resolution on particulate matter and aggregates in biopharmaceutical formulations (IV infusion in-use studies, stability and degradation studies) will be demonstrated.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Learn the impact of particles and aggregates in immunogenicity and toxicity.
• Understand how combining submicron IR and Raman microspectroscopy overcomes the limitations of traditional vibrational spectroscopy.
• Learn how O-PTIR microspectroscopy greatly improves knowledge and understanding of particles and aggregates in biopharmaceuticals.
  
  

Who Should Attend:

• Particle analysis/biopharmaceutical development scientists and engineers
• PAT and manufacturing engineers and scientists
• Regulatory compliance and quality operations scientific personnel
