Quality is the most important criterion for Boehringer Ingelheim biopharmaceuticals. Protein analytical chemistry is a constantly changing field, with improvements continuously being made with respect to the sensitivity and selectivity of analytical assays.
The most advanced analytical tools in combination with sophisticated statistical evaluations are applied to ensure the concept of "well-characterised biopharmaceuticals". The selection of appropriate methods at each stage of the process is essential for success.
State-of-the-art protein analytical techniques
State of the art protein analytical techniques are used to ensure the quality of biopharmaceuticals including potency, strength, purity, identity and safety.
It is the utmost ambition and vision to keep the broad and high sophisticated analytical level which includes all currently available techniques in the field of chromatography, cell-based bioassays, ELISA and biosensor techniques, gel and capillary gel electrophoresis techniques, oligosaccharide analysis, spectroscopic techniques and sequence analysis, to name some of the numerous techniques established.
All relevant mass spectrometric methods complete the in depth characterization of the biopharmaceuticals. Each technique alone reveals a puzzle piece, but the whole picture of the complex biomolecules will only be seen when a well chosen set of protein analytical techniques is combined. That is our unique strength.
