Webinar: How to tackle the challenges of peptide and protein quantification

The importance of biotherapeutics as a class of drugs continues to increase. Indeed, their low toxicity and high specificity justify their investigation as drug candidates. Yet, quantification studies of biotherapies in complex biological matrices can be very challenging. In particular, high background noise and interferences due to endogenous proteins may compromise the assay.

Dr. Xin Zhang, Senior Application Scientist at SCIEX, helps bioanalysts tackle those very challenges which accompany the quantification of peptide and proteins, whether this be straightforward intact protein and signature peptide analysis workflows or complex workflows.  

She presented a free webinarSensitive signature peptide quantification using accurate mass spectrometry on December 1, 2021, at 4PM GMT, 9AM PT; 12PM ET; 5PM CET about sensitive signature peptide quantification using accurate mass spectrometry. The event was hosted by DDW and supported by SCIEX.
