Biopharmaceutical Analysis

Organizations throughout the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry are increasing their investments in biopharmaceutical development. In this rapidly-evolving field, there is a widespread need for application-appropriate technologies. Strategic characterization technologies provide unique insights into the development potential of large molecule therapeutics. A first-line analysis of complex biotherapeutics that is rich with information can save significant time and development costs during production.

Waters' latest innovations in LC, LC/MS, and informatics are designed to address the multi-faceted analytical needs of large molecule characterization – from innovator biopharmaceuticals, to biosimilars, to antibody drug conjugates – and to keep pace with the regulatory changes that impact development laboratories.
