BioPharma Finder software for characterization of protein and oligonucleotide based biotherapeutics

In this workshop learn about exciting developments in BioPharma Finder software including new features for characterization of oligonucleotides, enabling scientists to perform key workflows including impurity analysis and metabolism studies.

• An overview of the protein characterization workflows will be provided including intact mass analysis and peptide mapping.
• Highlights of the recently added oligonucleotide characterization workflows will be provided as well.

This workshop will be idea for people new to the software or someone who would like to have a high-level overview of the capabilities of the software. Two other workshops are scheduled to provide a deeper drive into the software features for the different modalities. Session attendees will have the opportunity to request an additional follow-up with one of our experts for assistance with the software tailored to your projects.
