The multi-attribute method, known as MAM, employs a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technique. It serves as a peptide mapping application, enabling the direct analysis and monitoring of a wide array of product quality attributes (PQAs) at the amino acid level in biopharmaceutical products. This method is applicable throughout the product's journey from process development to quality control release.

Even minor alterations in the protein sequence can significantly impact the safety and biological effectiveness of biotherapeutics. Through direct measurement of potential PQAs, valuable insights are gained to refine production processes, ultimately enhancing the overall product quality.

The meticulous evaluation and continuous tracking of potential PQAs play a pivotal role in ensuring the product's quality, safety, and efficacy. Traditional methods for assessing potential PQAs involve resource-intensive approaches like multiple chromatographic and electrophoretic techniques. However, these methods are profile-based and often fall short in identifying and quantifying potential PQAs linked to specific residues. Incorporating the MAM approach can revolutionize the understanding and optimization of biopharmaceutical production, offering a comprehensive and efficient means to maintain product excellence.

The streamlined workflow to bring safe, high-quality medicines to market faster.

Historically, the implementation of MAM has not been easy or fast due to the absence of a complete commercial MAM solution. Scientists have had to piece together multiple hardware and software components originally designed for different purposes. Such MAM solutions often require expert MS users and are not without challenges when deployed in process development and QC environments.

Being the leading biotherapeutic solution provider and a trusted partner, Thermo Fisher Scientific has been working closely with industry leaders to develop a seamless, fit-for-purpose MAM solution.
