Biopharmaceutical analysis is a rapidly evolving field that requires the development of new technologies and methods to keep pace with the increasing complexity of biologics. One of the most promising areas of research is the use of single-cell omics and microfluidic chips for the analysis of biopharmaceuticals. Single-cell omics has revolutionized our understanding of cellular heterogeneity, while microfluidic chips have enabled high-throughput analysis of single cells that provide an understanding of the complex biological network that complements the genomics and transcriptomics studies. This article will explore some of the emerging trends and technologies in biopharmaceutical analysis, with a particular focus on single-cell omics and microfluidic chips. We will also discuss the developments in ambient ionization mass spectrometry such as sub nanoampere ionization and the potential of low current ionization in studying cell-to-cell heterogeneity and its role in metabolomics.
