Analysis of Charge Variants in Biologics (On-Demand)

Curriculum

Course Description:
This course explains why measurement of charge variants is important. It will also describe multiple techniques (i.e., ion exchange chromatography, cIEF/icIEF) commonly used to measure changes in biologics during development, production and stability testing and why they are often CQAs. Best practices for development of methods are included as well as data generated with USP's new monoclonal antibody Reference Standards. The pros and cons of various orthogonal approaches along with troubleshooting common issues will be discussed.

 After this course, learners will be able to:

  • State the USP standards that support measurements of critical quality attributes in biologics and particularly monoclonal antibody therapeutics.
  • Describe methods used to measure charge variants in biologics.
  • Explain how to interpret the resulting data from these methods.
  • Describe how the resulting data from these methods can be used to support the quality and stability assurance of biologics.

Access Duration:Access to this course expires 60 days from the date of registration or until you mark the course ‘Complete’ – whichever occurs first.
