Webinar Description:

In protein-based formulations, distinguishing aggregated API from other particle types is important for understanding the root cause of instability. Until now, existing methods have been either unreliable or too cumbersome and difficult to use in many workflows. Here we introduce the Aura, a 96-well low-volume aggregate and particle imaging system that can rapidly size, count, and characterize particles and identify them as proteins, non-proteins, hydrophobic, or other types of molecules.

Learning Objectives:

• Characterize aggregates that are not detected by other methods
• Identify the source of particles to develop the right mitigation approaches
• Classify particles as inherent, intrinsic, or extrinsic
• Characterize critical quality attributes early in development
• Use a USP compendial method to characterize stability throughout development
