Thermal stability

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) enables understanding and monitoring of the higher-order structure (HOS) and thermal stability of proteins at every stage of virus-based vaccine development, and during process development for recombinant products. DSC is also used to understand the thermal stability of liposomes used as carriers in nucleic acid-based vaccines.

Colloidal stability

Electrophoretic light scattering is used in the characterization and formulation development of products such as mRNA vaccines that use virus-like particles (VLPs), liposomes and other nanoparticles as carriers, to determine size and colloidal stability.

Particle concentration

Particle concentration is critical when using carriers such as VLPs, liposomes and other nanoparticles. Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis and Multi-Angle Dynamic Light Scattering are used to measure particle concentration during characterization and formulation development stages.

Recombinant protein candidate selection and stability prediction

Differential Scanning Calorimetry is a fundamental tool for characterizing proteins and plays a key role in the understanding of protein stability under various conditions. Dynamic Light Scattering is used to investigate and predict protein stability and to provide stability-indicating data that is used throughout development.

Adjuvant selection and suitability

Many vaccines require the presence of an adjuvant in the formulation to ensure an effective immune response. Depending on the vaccine type, Electrophoretic Light Scattering, laser diffraction, Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis and Differential Scanning Calorimetry all have roles in optimizing formulation with adjuvants. 

Polysaccharide composition

Size Exclusion Chromatography with advanced detection aids in the compositional analysis of the protein and polysaccharide content of polysaccharide-conjugate vaccines during process development and manufacturing.
