The Next Frontier in HCP Analysis and Optimization

Image
  In today’s pharmaceutical, academic, and industrial landscapes, Host Cell Protein (HCP) analysis has emerged as a critical factor in ensuring the safety and efficacy of biologics. As a leading protein analysis lab serving pharma, academia, and industry, we at Kendrick Labs understand the evolving challenges and opportunities in HCP analysis. With advancements in technology and ever-stricter regulatory requirements, the time to adopt innovative solutions in HCP analysis is now. Here’s how cutting-edge methodologies and tools are driving the next frontier in HCP analysis and optimization. Why HCP Analysis Matters More Than Ever HCPs are residual impurities derived from the host cells used in biopharmaceutical production. These proteins, if left unchecked, can compromise the safety, efficacy, and stability of biologic products. Regulatory agencies such as the FDA and EMA impose stringent requirements on biopharma companies to detect and quantify HCPs in their products, making ac...

2D Gels in Action: Practical Applications for Labs

Image
  In the world of protein analysis, few tools are as versatile and essential as 2D protein gels. These powerful analytical tools have become indispensable for laboratories working across pharmaceutical research, academic studies, and industrial applications. Provided by Kendrick Labs, Inc., our expertise in protein analysis ensures precision and actionable insights that advance science and innovation. What Are 2D Protein Gels? 2D protein gels, or two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, are an advanced method for separating proteins based on their isoelectric point (pI) and molecular weight. This two-step process allows scientists to visualize complex protein mixtures in high resolution. The method is a cornerstone of proteomics, enabling researchers to identify, quantify, and analyze proteins in a sample with unparalleled accuracy. Key Advantages of 2D Protein Gels High-Resolution Protein Separation: 2D protein gels allow the separation of hundreds or even thousands of protei...
