Are you looking to conduct analysis and characterization of your bispecific and multispecific antibodies?

Why characterize bispecific and multispecific antibodies ?

The analysis of bispecific and multispecific antibodies in a laboratory setting presents a complex challenge due to their unique structure and mechanism of action.

Unlike traditional monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), bispecific and multispecific antibodies are designed to recognize and bind to two or more different antigens, providing enhanced therapeutic versatility. Laboratory analysis of these molecules requires advanced methods to assess their structure, stability, binding efficacy, and their ability to induce specific biological responses.

This involves techniques such as mass spectrometry, chromatography, and functional assays to evaluate their biological activity.

Rigorous laboratory characterization is essential to ensure these antibodies meet quality (CQAs), safety, and efficacy criteria, especially in the context of their development for clinical applications.
