Understanding the Complexity of Analytical Tools for Characterizing Small Molecule and Biologic Drug Molecules

About The Event

We are pleased to announce two upcoming free workshops presented by Malvern Panalytical, a world leading manufacturer of tools used to provide a deeper understanding of the physical properties of small molecule and protein-based therapeutic products. These workshops will aim to provide an overview of current tools and methodologies available to researchers whilst highlighting ways to interpret these complex datasets to gain a deeper understating of the physical properties of these products.    These workshops will be presented as two half days: Day one will focus on the physical properties of small molecule drug products. Traditional methods used for characterization of these materials have significantly improved in sensitivity, dynamic range and resolution resulting in larger more complex datasets. As a result, it has become imperative for scientists to be able to quickly identify poor quality data to mitigate the risk misinterpretation. This workshop will discuss data quality from methods such as laser diffraction, dynamic light scattering, X-ray diffraction and more, providing strategies to improve the quality of data specific to these sample types.   The workshop on day two will highlight analytical methods used for characterizing biological based drug products. The complexity of these samples provides unique challenges when assessing their physical properties. Additives such as buffers and excipients can drastically alter these properties, and in some cases limit the applicability of a technique. This workshop will discuss methods such as dynamic light scattering, grating coupled interferometry, isothermal titration calorimetry and more highlighting the capabilities of these tool for measuring and interpreting these complex physical properties.    Join us for one of the day’s most relevant to your research or come along for both days and gain a deeper understanding of the range of the analytical tools and methods available to characterize the physical properties of pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals.
