Performance metrics for evaluating system suitability in liquid chromatography—Mass spectrometry peptide mass mapping of protein therapeutics and monoclonal antibodies
2015
The use of liquid chromatography – mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for the characterization of proteins can provide a plethora of information related to their structure, including amino acid sequence determination and analysis of posttranslational modifications. The variety of LC-MS based applications has led to the use of LC-MS characterization of therapeutic proteins and monoclonal antibodies as an integral part of the regulatory approval process. However, the improper use of an LC-MS system, related to intrinsic instrument limitations, improper tuning parameters, or poorly optimized methods may result in the production of low quality data. Improper system performance may arise from subtle changes in operating conditions that limit the ability to detect low abundance species. To address this issue, we systematically evaluated LC-MS/MS operating parameters to identify a set of metrics that can be used in a workflow to determine if a system is suitable for its intended purpose. Development of this workflow util...
