Despite the fact that more than two-thirds of recombinant biopharmaceutical products are glycoproteins, few advances in glycan analytics have been developed that have made meaningful improvements to how therapeutic protein glycosylation is studied. Regulatory agencies worldwide require state-of-the-art glycan analyses and the demands placed on these methods seem to be ever increasing. Ultimately, it is necessary to present robust, reproducible, and information-rich methods for glycan analysis in regulatory filings for glycoprotein-based biotherapeutics.
In this GEN webinar, Matthew Lauber, Ph.D., Principal Applications Chemist for Waters, will present on innovative sample preparation and LC-based separation techniques for the qualitative and quantitative characterization of protein glycosylation at varying levels of analysis, including intact protein, protein subunits, glycopeptides, and released glycans.
Dr. Lauber will describe a streamlined released N-glycan sample-preparation workflow utilizing the new GlycoWorks™ RapiFluor-MS™ N-Glycan Kit. Additionally, he will share new developments for hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) that make it possible to perform complementary analyses of glycans while they are still attached to their counterpart protein residues. Case studies will be shown that use an optimized stationary phase found in ACQUITY UPLC® Glycoprotein BEH Amide columns to resolve the glycoforms of intact and digested glycoproteins. It is hoped that the presented information will assist investigators in selecting the appropriate techniques to address the analytical challenges posed by biotherapeutic protein glycosylation.
