Characterization Solutions to Leading Pharma and Biotech PartnersBruker introduces the first software solution to encompass the complete biopharmaceutical characterization challenge, including glycoforms, impurities and modifications. The unique BioPharmaCompass 1.1 software allows biotech customers to leverage Bruker’s leadership in cutting-edge mass spectrometry for intact protein and post-translational modification analysis in a routine industrial biologics environment. You will find several major enabling innovations in the quest for a complete picture of biological products for regulatory approval and compliance in BioPharma Compass 1.1 such as:
Bruker has pioneered the field of novel mass spectrometry techniques for the direct measurement and sequencing of intact proteins. The industry-leading highest resolution maXis ESI-QqTOF spectra available at maximum sensitivity for trace impurities, patented top-down ISD-T3 sequencing on Flex series MALDI TOF/TOF and best-in-class amazon ETD ion-trap technology for PTM analysis are all critical steps in a complete understanding of the composition of a biotherapeutic. Now, BioPharmaCompass 1.1 enables biotech and pharma customers to manage information from any or all of these unique capabilities, dramatically speeding the licensing and production of biological drugs.

The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
Metabolomics Analysis of Low Birth-Weight Infants Using UHPLC-MS/MS Following Lipid Emulsion
January 10th 2025A recent study aimed to directly compare the changes in serum metabolites among very low birth-rate (VLBW) infants following the administration of the soybean oil-based lipid emulsion and soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil (SMOF) lipid emulsion using untargeted metabolomics techniques.
