Part 2: Size exclusion chromatography with light scattering for biopharmaceuticals
September 29, 2025, at 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST / 11:00 EDT / 08:00 PDT
Biopharmaceuticals based on monoclonal antibodies, lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated mRNA, and transgene-carrying viral vectors, are significantly larger than traditional small-molecule drugs. This size difference requires specialized analytical tools. Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) is particularly effective for studying proteins and has recently been adapted to analyze complex macromolecular assemblies like mRNA and DNA.
Join us for this exciting two-part webinar series where Dr. Jelle De Vos from RIC group and Dr. Sonja Schneider from Agilent Technologies will discuss how SEC is evolving to meet the demands of modern biopharma. In Part 2, our experts will share real-world application examples of SEC with light scattering detection, highlighting how this powerful combination is transforming the analysis of complex biopharmaceuticals.
