Aggregates and Nanoparticles in Biopharmaceuticals

Aggregation is a common degradation pathway of proteins and a critical quality attribute of pharmaceutical products. This webinar will discuss the growing interest in understanding particles, which has been encouraged by significant advancements in particle analysis and by regulatory concerns regarding the potential impact of particles on product quality and safety.

SGS’s expertise and capabilities regarding the testing of aggregates and nanoparticles, in compliance with the increasingly demanding requirements of regulatory authorities, will be discussed.

Agenda
