The Biologics Analysis Workflow consists of a suite of products that are designed and optimized to assess the purity or identity of protein biologics in a cGMP regulatory environment.

The Biologics Analysis Workflow provides:

  • Increased throughput
  • Simplified, sensitive gel staining
  • Accurate and reproducible imaging
  • Easy data analysis

Biologics Analysis Worflow steps

Fig. 1. The Biologics Analysis Workflow includes a set of integrated protein electrophoresis solutions for each step of the workflow.

Step 1: Separate Samples
Protein electrophoresis with Criterion™ TGX™ precast gels offers fast run times and higher throughput compared to mini gel formats.

Step 2: Stain Proteins
The QC colloidal Coomassie stain is designed for quantitative protein analysis, providing sensitivity, low background, and flexible stain times in addition to being a ready-to-use, environmentally friendly stain.

Step 3: Visualize Proteins
The GS-900™ calibrated densitometer auto-calibrates before each run for ultimate quantitative reproducibility. A wide 0–3.4 OD dynamic range enables quantitation of proteins, ensuring the detection of both highly abundant and dilute proteins.

Optimized products for the Biologics Analysis Worflow

Step 4: Analyze Results
Image Lab™ Software is protocol driven and allows for customization and easy recall of image acquisition and analysis settings. This design streamlines image acquisition and facilitates data analyses. Optional CFR module supports cGMP environments with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

Each of these four elements has been optimized in the Biologics Analysis Workflow, ensuring reproducibility, accuracy, and reliability in purity assessments and quantitative analysis.
