3 Reasons for Biopharmaceutical Labs to add Mass Detection to Routine Analyses
As regulators focus in on the critical quality attributes (CQAs) of biotherapeutics, what can biopharmaceutical labs in late development or QC do to increase confidence in their bioseparations assays – other than to run additional orthogonal assays? Many labs are finding the answer in mass detection, specifically with the ACQUITY QDa Detector from Waters. Here are three ways that mass ...
