High-precision analysis of the complex physicochemical properties of mRNA medicines.
High-precision evaluation of molecular weight, structure, and aggregation using light scattering detectors and LC-MS.
mRNA has been gaining attention as a modality in recent years, but evaluation methods have not yet been established, posing challenges in product development. SEC-MALS (Size Exclusion Chromatography with Multi-Angle Light Scattering detection) serves as a powerful tool for evaluating important biophysical characteristics. By utilizing SEC-MALS, it is possible to measure molecular weight, size, and three-dimensional structure with high precision, obtaining essential information for the development and optimization of mRNA therapeutics. Furthermore, when combined with LC-MS, it enables more comprehensive characterization and biophysical property analysis. The use of LC-MS for the separation and analysis of synthetic nucleic acids is effective, allowing for the simultaneous acquisition of a wide range of information, including purity, impurity content, and sequence confirmation. With the enhancement of dedicated analysis software, anyone can easily perform data analysis, regardless of their experience with LC-MS.
