PDB ID: 1GFL F. Yang, L.G. Moss, G.N. Phillips Jr. The molecular structure of green fluorescent protein. Nat. Biotechnol. 14 pp. 1246 (1996)


AAPS Workshop on Methods for Detecting and Characterizing Sub-visible Particulates


Sunday, June 21, 2009

Washington State Convention and Trade Center

Seattle, WA

8:00 am - 5:15 pm


Background Information:

Recently a great deal of attention has been focused on the possible impact of particulates in biological therapeutics. In particular, it has been recognized that there is a gap in analysis of sub-visible particulates < 10 microns. While good methods exist for detecting and characterizing the size distributions of very small (< 0.1 micron) particulates, there are fewer analogous techniques that provide accurate size distributions for particulates in the 0.1 to 10 micron size range.
