Shining Light on AAVs: Using Light Scattering Technologies to Solve Challenges in Characterization

DATE

October 18, 2023

TIME

8:00 a.m. PDT / 11:00 a.m. EDT / 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST - Duration: 60 Minutes

Overview

With the rising clinical and commercial successes of AAV-based gene therapies, there is an ever-growing demand for robust, platform analytical technologies that can help ensure better product quality, safety, and efficacy. Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and Field Flow Fractionation (FFF), coupled with multi-angle light scattering technologies (MALS), are rapidly emerging as transformative technologies for rapid and accurate characterization of AAV samples. Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs) such as capsid titer, genome titer, empty/full, % aggregation and purity of various AAV serotypes can all be obtained in a single measurement. This multi-attribute approach dramatically reduces operational costs and reduces drug development timelines.

Key Learning Objectives:

See how SEC-MALS compares to orthogonal techniques (ddPCR, Capsid ELISA’s, and AUC) for the characterization of AAV during various downstream steps
Understand how light scattering can be used as a rapid screening tool when working with multiple AAV serotypes
Appreciate the value of FFF-MALS for accurate, AAV aggregation analysis

Who Should Attend:

Academic researchers involved in biophysical studies
Academic researchers involved in gene therapy studies
Gene Therapy - Discovery
Gene Therapy - Development
Gene Therapy – QC
