Native fluorescence detection for high-throughput CE-SDS and AAV characterization in drug development

Advancing protein and viral vector characterization requires detection strategies that deliver higher sensitivity without adding complexity to established workflows. Traditional UV detection can introduce challenges such as labelling steps, baseline drift, and lower signal‑to‑noise ratios, making it harder to resolve critical quality attributes in capillary electrophoresis–sodium dodecyl sulfate (CE‑SDS) as workflows scale and regulatory expectations increase.
In this SelectScience® TechTalk, Staff Application Scientist, Peter Holper, with 15+ years of biopharma industry experience, will demonstrate how native fluorescence detection (NFD) on the BioPhase 8800 system is raising the bar for CE-SDS analysis. By harnessing the natural fluorescence of aromatic amino acids, NFD eliminates protein labeling while delivering improved signal-to-noise ratios and cleaner baselines.
You will also discover how 8‑capillary parallel processing accelerates throughput across workflows such as CE‑SDS purity analysis and AAV capsid protein characterization, supported by real data showing accuracy and repeatability across detection modes. With streamlined sample preparation and stable baselines, your lab can get to answers faster and with greater confidence.
