  • Enzymatic Digestion: Accelerating Bioseparations with Novel Enzymes

    The Role of Enzymes in LC-MS Analysis of Modern Biotherapeutics  Enzymes are nature’s catalysts, enabling precise and efficient biochemical transformations. In analytical workflows, enzymatic digestion is a cornerstone technique for breaking down complex biomolecules into smaller, more manageable fragments. This process is critical for applications such as peptide mapping in protein characterization and oligonucleotide mapping…

  • FDA October 2025 Draft Guidance Sparks Industry Biosimilars Buzz 

    The FDA’s October 29, 2025 draft guidance has generated significant attention due to the implications for both developers and patients.  By allowing developers to bypass comparative efficacy studies (CES) when advanced analytics are successful substitutes, the draft guidance avoids one of the most expensive steps, estimated to account for 70% of the total biosimilar development…

  • How Advances in Bioanalysis Drive Scientific and Ethical Progress

    How Sygnature Discovery Supports the 3Rs with LC-MS/MS Scientific Precision and Ethical Innovation In the world of drug discovery, researchers face a critical challenge: how do you generate high-quality, reproducible bioanalytical data while minimizing the ethical and logistical burden of using animals in testing?  This is especially so with central nervous system (CNS) drug discovery,…

  • Charge Detection Mass Spectrometry (CDMS):  Unprecedented Direct Measurement for the Characterization of Mega-Mass Biomolecules 

    Whether you are analyzing adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) or virus-like particles, nucleic acids such as RNAs or lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), proteins, or protein complexes, simple and fit-for-purpose tools with speed, accuracy, and precision are essential for driving biotherapeutic innovations forward. In recent years, scientists have increasingly turned to charge detection mass spectrometry (CDMS).
