Abstract
Protein-based biopharmaceutical drugs, such as monoclonal antibodies, account for the majority of the best-selling drugs globally in recent years. For bioprocesses, key performance indicators are the concentration and aggregate level for the product being produced. In water NMR (wNMR), the use of the water transverse relaxation rate [R2(1H2O)] has been previously used to determine protein concentration and aggregate level; however, it cannot be used to separate between them without using an additional technique. This work shows that it is possible to “decouple” these two key characteristics by recording the water diffusion coefficient [D(1H2O)] in conjunction with R2(1H2O), even in the event of overlap in either D(1H2O) or R2(1H2O). This method is demonstrated on three different systems, following appropriate D(1H2O) or R2(1H2O) calibration data acquisition for a protein of interest. Our method highlights the potential use of benchtop NMR as an at-line process analytical technique.
期刊介绍:
Analytical Chemistry, a peer-reviewed research journal, focuses on disseminating new and original knowledge across all branches of analytical chemistry. Fundamental articles may explore general principles of chemical measurement science and need not directly address existing or potential analytical methodology. They can be entirely theoretical or report experimental results. Contributions may cover various phases of analytical operations, including sampling, bioanalysis, electrochemistry, mass spectrometry, microscale and nanoscale systems, environmental analysis, separations, spectroscopy, chemical reactions and selectivity, instrumentation, imaging, surface analysis, and data processing. Papers discussing known analytical methods should present a significant, original application of the method, a notable improvement, or results on an important analyte.
