Expedite Process Development with Automated PQA and Spent Media Analysis with the BioAccord LC-MS System

The necessity to develop a robust process for complex biologics manufacturing poses significant challenges for analytical testing. This demands automated, high-throughput, and comprehensive analytical results with rapid feedback to enable timely adjustments for process optimization. Therefore, mass spectrometry-based high-throughput, rapid product quality attribute (PQA) analysis and media metabolite analysis are crucial for the manufacturing of complex antibody drugs.
In this webinar, we will present an automation-assisted at-line Process Analytical Technology (PAT) for PQA and spent media analysis designed to expedite process development. Samples were prepared using an automated workstation, ensuring a fast turnaround time and high-throughput approach. Data acquired and analyzed with the BioAccord LC-MS system, coupled with the waters_connect platform, provided robust feedback for process development.
We will demonstrate two examples: one illustrating how to understand process parameters affecting the mispaired bispecific antibody ratio, and another facilitating process troubleshooting.
