(SC5) Dinner Presentation and Interactive Panel Discussion*

Focus on Aggregation: Mechanisms, Analytical Methods, and Real-World Examples
Presenter and Panel Moderator: John Philo, Ph.D., Vice President, Biophysical Chemistry, Alliance Protein Laboratories

  • Types and mechanisms of aggregation
  • Why characterization methods in addition to SEC are often requested by the regulators
  • Basic principles of orthogonal analytical methods analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC), field-flow fractionation (FFF) and light scattering techniques (SEC-MALS and DLS)
  • Advantages and disadvantages of all these analytical methods
  • Real-world examples and applications to illustrate a range of aggregation issues and mechanisms that may be encountered and how these various analytical methods can be applied
