Monoclonal Antibody Peptide Mapping using Micro Pillar Array Columns Combined with Mass Spectrometry (µPAC™-MS) – Part 2

19 Jan 2018

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have emerged as important therapeutics for the treatment of life-threatening diseases. This study uses micro pillar array columns (µPAC™) for mAb peptide mapping.

200 cm µPAC™ column

PharmaFluidics

As an alternative to conventional columns, PharmaFluidics offers micromachined nano-LC columns or micro Pillar Array Columns (µPAC™). These µPAC™ columns display exceptional separation properties with unprecedented peak capacity and narrow peak shapes at low operating back-pressure. µPAC™ column, 200 cm length, with pillar array backbone at interpillar distance of 2.5µm, C18.

50 cm µPAC™ column

PharmaFluidics

With an internal volume of 3µL, this 50 cm long RP-C18 µPAC™ column is perfectly suited to perform high throughput analyses with shorter gradi­ent solvent times (30, 60 and 90-minute gradients) and it can be used over a wide range of flow rates, between 100 and 2000 nL/min. µPAC™ column, 50 cm length, with pillar array backbone at interpillar distance of 2.5µm, C18.

AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.Biopharmaceutical AdvancesBiopharmaceutical advances follow the development of pharmaceuticals derived from biotechnology, also known as biotechnology medicines. Biopharmaceuticals may be produced from cell lines, plants, or microbial cells. Important considerations of biopharmaceutical use include application, cost, production process and purification.Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.

It is widely used in fields like biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and environmental analysis. By exploiting differences in the interaction of substances with a stationary phase and a mobile phase, chromatography enables precise purification and quantification of compounds. Whether you're working with complex biological samples or industrial chemicals, chromatography is essential for obtaining high-quality results.

Clinically inactive components will have minor differences, but there are no significant differences between the biosimilar and the original product in terms of potency, purity and safety.Peptide MappingBiotherapeuticsBiotherapeutics are proteins and other compounds (such as nucleic acids) produced by living organisms that have uses as therapeutics or in <i>in vivo</i> diagnostics. The most well-known example of a biotherapeutic product, and the first to be approved for therapeutic use, was recombinant human insulin.
