Applications of Multi-Angle Light Scattering for Biotherapeutic Characterization
DAWN MALS for Proteins and Gene Therapy
As biotherapeutics become increasingly complex, comprehensive characterization is essential for understanding critical quality attributes and ensuring product quality. Multi-Angle Light Scattering (MALS) is a powerful analytical technique that provides direct, absolute measurements of multiple molecular attributes in a single experiment, including molar mass, size, conformation, aggregation, and conjugation.
Why you should attend
This webinar introduces the fundamentals of MALS and highlights its application to the characterization of biotherapeutics such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), protein conjugates, and adeno-associated viruses (AAVs).
Attendees will learn how coupling MALS with separation techniques such as SEC enables comprehensive molecular characterization without reliance on calibration standards or molecular assumptions. Through real-world examples, the webinar will demonstrate how MALS helps scientists gain deeper insight into molecular structure, composition, and heterogeneity throughout biotherapeutic development.
