Many possible workflow options– How do I choose?How do I choose?

– What steps should I include/omit for my protein?

Method DevelopmentM t t ti i– Many steps to optimize

Lack of standardization – approaches

– reagent choice/quality

– different labs, different results

Conclusions: Comparison of Pre-fractionation Techniquesq

Absolute LLOQ/LOD for Kappa anti-human and Protein A similar– Kappa S:N much higher and integration much cleaner

– Protein A LLOQ may be 2-3X higher/worse due to interferences and ease of integration

LLOQ/LOD for whole digest 2-10X worse than Kappa or Protein AQ/ g pp

NSB may occur after very specific clean-up at protein level!– Too clean?

All t h i i ld li All techniques yield linear curves– Anti-human 3 orders magnitude

o Due to capacity

• When more beads are used, the linear range could be extended

o Will NSB impact be even greater using more beads?

Conclusions

Protein BA workflows are complex– Optimization of multiple aspects of multiple steps is requiredOptimization of multiple aspects of multiple steps is required

– The number and nature of steps to include depends on many variables

Waters prototype kits provide standardized reproducible and Waters prototype kits provide standardized, reproducible, and fully flexible solutions to accommodate multiple workflows with fast, optimized protocols

C l d d b d f d d For ADC analysis, conjugated peptides can be identified and quantified using a 2-stage workflow, HRMS, and specifically designed software

Intact analysis is closer than you might think……………
