Agilent introduces Altura SEC, Altura PLRP-S columns

Agilent Technologies announced the latest expansion of its Altura HPLC column portfolio with the introduction of Altura size exclusion chromatography and Altura PLRP-S columns, designed to support critical analytical workflows in biopharmaceutical development and production. The new SEC and PLRP-S columns support critical analytical workflows across a range of biotherapeutic modalities, including peptides, proteins, oligonucleotides, and conjugated therapeutics. Applications such as aggregate characterization, molecular weight confirmation and size distribution analysis remain essential for evaluating product quality, stability and performance, while drug-to-antibody ratio determination is critical for characterizing antibody-drug conjugates and other conjugated therapeutics as drug modalities continue to increase in complexity.
