This seminar will discuss modern methods for the identification and charcterization of protein aggregates and multimeric protein associates. The techniques to be emphasized will be static and dynamic light scattering and viscometry, as stand-alone techniques or when coupled with an initial separation step (SEC, GFC, FFF). We will describe the nature of the information possible using these techniques, such as absolute MW, polydispersity, hydrodynamic radius, radius of gyration, weight average MW and so forth. We will also discuss how the results from these light scattering methods can be compared to similar approaches using mass spectrometry.

Most companies have yet to implement a sustainable enterprise wide process to address governance, risk and compliance needs. The heroic efforts of small project teams are implemented as short term solutions in day-to-day activities and many use disparate, manual or non-standardized systems. The result is duplicative efforts when complying with multiple requirements and a lack of accurate, timely and transparent information. This is what made complying to Sarbanes more expensive and time consuming than necessary. Aligning the right technology with your business needs can provide the high quality information required for efficient and effective compliance and governance.

Quality Systems in a Global Market

Companies, including virtual companies, are required by regulators to document their Quality System. Companies rely on standard operating procedures to document these systems and define their processes for performing certain functions. Each company has its own set of SOPs, which can create a number of challenges when working in today?s global pharmaceutical market. Differences in regional regulations only add to the confusion.
