biologics

ARL Bio Pharma provides analytical and microbiological solutions for biologics, supporting quality and compliance across drug product development and commercialization.

Analytical Method Development

ARL Bio Pharma designs tailored analytical strategies to support product quality, process understanding, and compatibility. Using advanced technologies and orthogonal approaches, our laboratory generates high-resolution insights into complex biologics using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS)-based methods.

Bioanalytical Characterization

ARL Bio Pharma offers biologic characterization services that evaluate the structure and purity of various therapeutic proteins, including intact monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), bispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), fusion proteins, and other peptides and proteins. These services provide essential data for protein identification, mass confirmation, and structural characterization to support the quality and consistency of drug products.

Process Characterization

Process characterization is a critical development phase where manufacturing parameters are systematically evaluated to understand their impact on product quality. ARL Bio Pharma combines risk assessment, experimental design, and advanced analytics to build a robust, controlled process that supports product quality and robustness.

Process Qualification

Process qualification verifies that the manufacturing process can consistently deliver a product that meets predefined quality attributes under cGMP conditions. ARL Bio Pharma provides comprehensive analytical support to support effective process validation and regulatory compliance.

Lot Release

ARL Bio Pharma provides comprehensive, cGMP-compliant lot release testing to meet global regulatory requirements for drug substances and drug products. Our laboratory’s integrated approach delivers consistent, high-quality data that meets regulatory expectations across the US, EU, and international markets.

What Makes Complex Biologics Unique

Our laboratory has expertise in a broad range of biologics, ensuring quality results and innovative solutions.

Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs)

ADCs are targeted therapies that combine an antibody with a potent cytotoxic drug. The antibody guides the drug to specific cells, while the conjugation and linker chemistry determine stability, efficacy, and safety. Characterization of ADCs requires careful analysis of the antibody, the drug-to-antibody ratio, and the integrity of the linker.

Bispecific Antibodies

Bispecific antibodies are engineered to bind two different antigens simultaneously. This unique ability allows them to engage multiple targets or pathways, providing enhanced therapeutic potential. Their structural complexity requires precise characterization of binding, stability, and functionality.

Fusion Proteins:

Fusion proteins are created by joining two or more protein domains into a single molecule. They can improve pharmacokinetics, enhance activity, or provide novel therapeutic functions. Analytical studies focus on confirming the correct structure, activity, and stability of the fusion protein.

Other Multi-Domain Proteins:

These biologics include proteins with multiple functional domains or post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation. Their heterogeneity demands sophisticated analytical approaches to ensure safety, efficacy, and regulatory compliance.

Glycoproteins:

Proteins with carbohydrate chains (glycans) attached. Glycosylation affects stability, efficacy and immunogenicity, requiring specialized analytical approaches.

Enzyme Therapeutics:

Therapeutic proteins with catalytic activity, often requiring detailed activity assays in addition to structural characterization.

PEGylated proteins/Bioconjugates:

Proteins chemically modified to improve pharmacokinetics, requiring specialized analytics to assess modification efficiency and stability.

Recombinant Proteins:

Proteins expressed in non-native system, which may require extensive analysis of folding, post-translational modifications and impurities.

Oligonucleotide conjugates/ Antibody-Oligonucleotide Conjugates (AOCs):

Hybrid biologics that combine antibodies with nucleic acids, requiring both protein and nucleic acid characterization.
