Services

Orthogonal workflows for primary structure, PTMs, glycosylation, charge and size variants, binding and potency to support CMC and comparability questions.

Integrated AAV and cell-and-gene-therapy analytics including long-read sequencing for genome integrity, qPCR titering, capsid PTM analysis, empty/full assessment and impurity profiling.

Design and execution of ICH-aligned forced-degradation and stability programs with stability-indicating analytical readouts to support shelf-life and comparability.

Early-stage panels combining aggregation, charge, glycosylation, higher-order structure and functional assays to inform lead selection and manufacturability.

Chromatographic and mass-spectrometric assays for metabolites, vitamins, neurotransmitters and spent media to support bioprocess development and CMC.

State-of-the-art analytical workflows for nanobodies and single-domain antibodies covering primary structure, PTMs, charge and size heterogeneity, aggregation, higher-order structure and tailored functional assays.
