Optimising AAV capsid purification through improved analytics

Drug Discovery World

During AAV process development, there are numerous variables that need to be optimised to maximise the number of full capsids while minimising contaminants. Robustness: to be able to tolerate matrix effects (type of buffer, residual contaminants, ionic strength, etc.) What makes an ideal AAV analytics tool for process development?
