Establishment of System Suitability Standard for N-glycan Profile Analysis of Monoclonal Antibodies / 中国药学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To establish the system suitability standard for N-glycan profile analysis of monoclonal antibodies. METHODS: LC-MS was used to characterize the N-linked glycoform of the system suitability standard, and the stability was evaluated. The acceptance criteria of system suitability was set according to the method property and the data from method validation. RESULTS: The data of accelerated and long-term stability test indicated that the system suitability standard was stable under storage condition. The N-glycoform of this standard was representative, which covered the main glycoform of monoclonal antibodies. The acceptance criteria of system suitability set for the three analytical METHODS: were as below: the detected chromatogram should be visually similar to representative chromatogram; the resolution between G1F(1, 6) and G1F(1, 3), and G0F percentage should meet the specific requirements; the RSD of G0F retention time should be ≤4%. CONCLUSION: The standard substance for system suitability test and acceptance criteria for three N-glycan profile analytical METHODS are established.
