Event Overview.
Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) have recently gained significant attention in the field of gene and cell therapy because of their effectiveness at delivering genes to target cells in vivo and in vitro. Due to the increasing demand for AAV therapeutic drug production, there have been many efforts to engineer and improve new AAV variants. To guarantee the potency of AAV therapies, their purity must be assessed. Scientists continue seeking rapid, accurate, and cost-effective methods to characterize how much DNA payload is within the AAV capsids. In this webinar, an overview of the analytical chromatography techniques for the characterization of AAVs will be discussed.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Learn how to optimize your analytical chromatography method for the separation of AAV components with the highest resolution.
- Explore size exclusion and ion exchange chromatography for AAV analysis.
- Discover how adding MALS detection enhances the characterization of AAVs.
Who Should Attend:
- Scientists and lab managers seeking rapid, accurate, and cost-effective LC-MALS methods to characterize AAVs.

Advances in Non-Targeted Analysis for PFAS in Environmental Matrices
March 27th 2025David Megson from Manchester Metropolitan University in Manchester, UK, spoke to LCGC International about the latest developments in non-targeted analysis (NTA) of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in environmental matrices based on a recent systematic review paper he has collaboratively published (1).
Study Explores Thin-Film Extraction of Biogenic Amines via HPLC-MS/MS
March 27th 2025Scientists from Tabriz University and the University of Tabriz explored cellulose acetate-UiO-66-COOH as an affordable coating sorbent for thin film extraction of biogenic amines from cheese and alcohol-free beverages using HPLC-MS/MS.
Quantifying Microplastics in Meconium Samples Using Pyrolysis–GC-MS
March 26th 2025Using pyrolysis-gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, scientists from Fudan University and the Putuo District Center for Disease Control and Prevention detected and quantified microplastics in newborn stool samples.
Multi-Step Preparative LC–MS Workflow for Peptide Purification
March 21st 2025This article introduces a multi-step preparative purification workflow for synthetic peptides using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS). The process involves optimizing separation conditions, scaling-up, fractionating, and confirming purity and recovery, using a single LC–MS system. High purity and recovery rates for synthetic peptides such as parathormone (PTH) are achieved. The method allows efficient purification and accurate confirmation of peptide synthesis and is suitable for handling complex preparative purification tasks.
