    Breakfast seminar:
    Overcoming Sample Prep Challenges in Oligonucleotides LC-MS/MS Analysis

    Calendar   Monday, June 2, 2025    Time   7:00am - 8:15am in Room 320

    Oligonucleotide therapeutics have emerged as promising drug candidates due to their high specificity in targeting various genetic diseases and disorders. Despite advances in LC-MS, the inherent complexity, charge properties, and susceptibility to degradation make oligonucleotide quantitation in biological matrices particularly challenging. Effective sample preparation is essential to mitigate matrix effects, enhance analyte recovery, and ensure data reproducibility.

    This seminar will discuss practical sample preparation strategies to improve matrix cleanup and extraction efficiency for oligonucleotides bioanalysis. We will demonstrate how these strategies achieve consistent recovery and strengthen overall method robustness.
