Overcoming Challenges with AAV Aggregate Analysis Using a Novel Size Exclusion Particle

Aggregate analysis of Adeno Associated Virus (AAV) is crucial for quality assessment and currently presents various challenges including long run time, high volume sample consumption where samples are scares and over all requires reliable technique to address all aspects related to quality and throughput.

In this webinar, the speakers will focus on optimizing a high throughput SEC method using a novel size exclusion chemistry to reduce sample consumption and run time. Additionally, method versatility with multiple mobile phase, multiple detectors across various AAV serotypes will be explored.

Key Learning Points:

• Learn about a novel Size exclusion chemistry that can improve lab throughput and reduce sample consumption for AAV analysis
• Find new method optimization tips and tricks to maximize AAV Aggregate separation
• Understand how optimizing particle chemistry, pore size and hardware can improve Aggregate separation in Size Exclusion Chromatography of AAVs
