The Latest Workflows for Gene Therapy Analysis

During this webinar, you will understand how capillary electrophoresis (CE) and LC-MS are being used to ensure vaccine and cell and gene therapy product quality. We will discuss how LC-MS is being used to identify impurities present in lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccines that have been found to deactivate mRNA. We will also cover how CE is being used in viral vector production to ensure product quality.
