Microfluidics for macromolecules: leveraging microflow LC/MS for quantitation of therapeutic peptides

 

This webinar will provide an overview of the utilization of microflow LC/MS for the quantitation of therapeutic peptides at Merck Research laboratories.  An overview of the use of LC-MS for peptide analysis will be presented along with various case studies for in vitro and in vivo studies focused on the characterization of various drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic properties in a discovery (non-regulated) pharmaceutical research environment.

What will you learn?

  • Sample Preparation Strategies
  • GLP-1 Case Study
  • ANP Biomarker
  • Peptide Library Permeability Screening

Who may this interest?

  • Academic and industrial scientists working in biomarker, biomedical and biopharmaceutical research
