FAQ: Characterization of therapeutic peptides, including GLP-1

Why characterize a therapeutic peptide?

Therapeutic peptides are complex biomolecules whose structural properties directly influence their biological activity, stability, and safety of use. Their analytical characterization is an essential step in verifying compliance with regulatory requirements and ensuring the quality of manufactured batches.

Peptide analysis helps confirm their identity, assess their purity, detect any impurities or structural modifications, and verify sequence compliance for development, validation, or release phases.

I don't know which analyses to perform on my peptide. Can you assist me?

Yes. Upon receipt of your request, a FILAB expert will discuss your project with you to understand its scope, the nature of your peptide and your objectives. This discussion helps define the most suitable analytical strategy, whether this involves identity confirmation, purity assessment, sequencing or impurity detection.

Is it easy to send a sample to FILAB for peptide characterization?

Yes. All relevant information can be found in this blog post: how to send your samples from France or abroad? 

What information do I need to provide to obtain a quote?

To prepare a suitable proposal, it is recommended that you specify the type of peptide being analyzed, its development stage, the analyses required and your objective (quality control, stability study, characterization, investigation, etc.). Our experts will then assist you in defining the most relevant analytical program.

How can I obtain a quote from FILAB?

To obtain a quote, you can contact our teams via our contact form, by telephone or by email.
Simply send us your requirements (type of material, requested analysis, applicable standard, urgency, quantity of samples, etc.). We will then send you a personalized technical and price proposal within 24–48 hours.

What is the typical duration of the analyses?

Turnaround times vary depending on the nature of the analysis and the complexity of the expert assessment project.
However, FILAB is committed to providing fast turnaround times tailored to your industrial constraints and urgent requirements.

What types of peptides can FILAB analyze?

FILAB characterizes various types of therapeutic peptides, including GLP-1 analogues, hormonal peptides, synthetic peptides and drug candidates developed in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.

Why use LC-MS to characterize a peptide?

The combination of liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry makes it possible to confirm a peptide’s identity, measure its molecular mass, assess its purity and identify potential impurities or structural modifications with a high level of sensitivity.
