Title: Density Matching Multi-Wavelength Analytical Ultracentrifugation to Measure Drug Loading of Lipid Nanoparticle Formulations
Contribution Type: Full Talk
Selected for Presentation Yes
Abstract: Like viral vectors, lipid nanoparticle formulations can be characterized by multi-wavelength analytical ultracentrifugation in high resolution to differentiate heterogeneous mixtures based on nucleic acid loading state, morphology, and particle size. In this talk, I will discuss how a D2O density matching approach can be employed to characterize particles based on their partial specific volume, or loading density. This adds a third characterization dimension to the hydrodynamic and spectral separation.
