Reliable Detection and Quantification of Protein Impurities

Automatic and reliable detection and quantification of low concentrated protein impurities down to 0.05% and below with the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer!

The Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer together with the Agilent High Sensitivity Protein 250 Kit allows you to reliably detect and quantify low concentrated impurities next to massive main components – down to 0.05% and below. This meets the ICH guideline Q3B(R2): Impurities in New Drug Products! Reporting threshold 0.05% for a maximum daily dose >1g.

The Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer provides:

  • sensitivity and linear dynamic range – silver stain sensitivity down to 1 pg/μL of labeled protein on chip and 4 orders of magnitude in linear dynamic range
  • fast results – complete automated analysis of 10 samples in 30 minutes
  • reproducibility – qualitative, user-independent and digital data
  • ease of use – standardized assay, pre-packaged reagent kits
  • 21 CFR Part 11 compliance – validated reagents and software plus Agilent compliance services to meet all GMP/GLP needs.

The High Sensitivity Protein 250 kit provides the first microfluidic assay for protein detection in the low picogram range. Therefore, the kit is suited excellent to solve typical protein QA/QC questions and to comply with ICH and FDA guidelines – in the Bioanalyzer-like, fast and reproducible way.Learn more!
