Analytical Technique Comparisons using LINKC. Merchant, Ph.D., D. Thomas

LINK was used to automatically transcribe measurementdata directly from equipment measurement files into acentralized database. Sample information exemplifying atypical stability study, such as storage time point andstorage temperature, were parsed from each data file.LINK Analysis templates for the purpose of technologycomparisons were constructed, and updated in real-timewith each data import.

Sample datasets were made available from FlowMicroscopy (MFI), Light Obscuration (HIAC), RMM(Archimedes), NTA (NanoSight), DLS (DynaPro,Zetasizer), and SEC/cIEF (Empower). Analysis templateswere developed for the purpose of comparing:

Introduction

Methods

It was found that the LINK data management and analysistool provided direct comparison of orthogonal andcomplimentary analytical techniques in a fully automatedfashion, dramatically improving the speed of analysis andeliminating the possibility of transcription errors. Futurework will involve exploring how multi-variate datavisualization tools and statistical analysis within the LINKtool might further contribute to the characterization andcontrol of protein formulations.
