Event Overview:

AAVs are attractive vehicles for targeted drug delivery. There are numerous critical quality attributes (CQAs) that are evaluated to ensure the safety and efficacy of AAVs. Aggregation is a CQA and should be controlled, as AAVs are prone to aggregation from freeze-thaw cycles during storage.
In this webinar, we will explore CQAs using a novel size exclusion column optimal for AAV analysis, which enables the separation of AAV monomer from aggregate species with excellent peak shape, resolution, and peak profile to provide better data quality. Due to both the inert surface chemistry and flow path in the BiozenTM dSEC-7 column, the analysis conditions were independent of the serotype, showcasing the utilization of platform methodology.
In addition to calculating the aggregation level, aggregate molar mass, molar masses of protein and nucleic acid, and extinction coefficients of capsid and DNA were also determined. The novel particle chemistry of Biozen dSEC-7 provides instant stabilization of sensitive detectors like MALS to provide quality data.
Additionally, the full-to-empty capsid ratio was determined to accurately predict capsid load demonstrating Biozen dSEC-7’s utility as a holistic solution for the determination of CQAs of AAVs.
Key Learning Objectives:

• Learn how to optimize AAV aggregate analysis.
• Learn how SEC is utilized for capsid load quantification.
• Learn how optimized column specifications improve CQA data quality.

Who Should Attend:

• Biopharmaceutical researchers: Professionals involved in the development and optimization of AAV-based drug delivery systems.
• Quality control professionals: Individuals responsible for ensuring the safety and efficacy of AAV products by monitoring and evaluating critical quality attributes.
• Analytical development scientists: Scientists focusing on the analysis and characterization of biological molecules, particularly those using size exclusion chromatography and related techniques.
