Biopharma fundamentals: Fragment analysis by CE
Pharma and biopharma fundamentals masterclasses
Build confidence in your analytical decisions across pharma and biopharma workflows
The pharma and biopharma fundamentals masterclasses are a year-long educational series designed for scientists who want to strengthen their knowledge, compare analytical strategies, and apply best practices across regulated workflows.
Each session focuses on a real analytical challenge — from quantitation and metabolite identification to biopharma characterization and extractables and leachables — with practical guidance from SCIEX experts.
Attend live or watch on demand and choose the sessions most relevant to your work.
Available now:
Pharma fundamentals: Metabolite Identification Metabolite identification is essential in drug discovery, supporting confident decisions in compound design and toxicology
This session shows how alternative fragmentation strategies can overcome limitations of traditional CID and improve MetID accuracy for complex metabolites.
