Eliminating Residual Impurities Starts with a Strategic Plan
A risk-based approach to identifying potential residual impurities is important for understanding any risks to the product quality and potentially the patient. It also allows the development of an opt…

Impurity Testing of Biologic Drug Products
Some impurities (especially host cell proteins) may add an immune-stimulating or adjuvant behavior to the therapeutic, causing the patient to generate antibodies or cell-mediated immunity against the …

Managing Residual Impurities During Downstream Processing
Elemental impurities can be present as well. There is, however, no set of standard assays for the determination of contaminants such as HCPs during manufacturing because each biopharmaceutical process…

Preclinical Evaluation of Product Related Impurities and Variants
Often, these processing steps result in formation of certain molecular variants and impurities in addition to the pure GCSF. These include the oxidized, formyl methionine (f-Met), reduced, and aggrega…

Capture of Bispecific Antibodies and Removal of Product-Related Impurities
Many of these variants, especially asymmetric bispecific antibodies, are prone to aggregation or to forming product-related impurities such as homodimers and half antibodies during cell culture. The s…

Impurity ELISA automation for faster process development
Host cell proteins (HCPs) produced by cells during biologic manufacturing must be removed from the final product to protect patients. However, it’s challenging to detect HCP, and this step can…

Evolution of the Monoclonal Antibody Purification Platform
Typical steps include:
• Protein A chromatography for capture of the product and removal of host cell-related impurities (host cell proteins and DNA). Though extremely efficient and effective,…
