As the importance of gene therapeutic products is growing, so is the interest in AF4. AF4 is able to quantify species within a size range of 1 nm up to 1 μm. This makes AF4 the ideal tool for the measurement of of adeno-associated viruses, lysosomal formulations, RNA/DNA complexes and even complete viruses. Our scientists have already worked with a wide range of gene therapy products and are able to support you with your very product. We are even are still working on AF4 theory development and are developing new data evaluation approaches. Which allows us to offer AF4 services featuring the AF4Eval program. 

The interest of the regulatory authorities get orthogonal results to verity the SEC results is growing. AF4 and AUC are the most prominent orthogonal methods. Additionally, they are bot first principle methods.  AF4 however is a comparably complex technique. Therefore, it is important to find an experienced partner for the development of robust and specif AF4 methods. Our scientist have already worked with a wide range of commercial antibodies and oligonucleotides. Therefore, ZentriForce Pharma is your partner for the development of a robust and specific AF4 method.   If you need further information please follow the link. 

AF4 is a valuable tool to gain additional, essential information about your product. An major advantage of AF4 is the large particle size range that can be covered in a single measurement (1 nm up to 1μm). Therefore, it can be a useful addition within production optimization or trouble shooting.  A drawback to the AF4 method in the past used to be a comparably low resolution. This problem  was solved by our scientists with the development of the AF4Eval software. For further information please follow the link. 

With the increasing interest in gene therapy products also the interested in AF4 is growing. However, AF4 methods are comparably complex to develop. While most people use AF4 only as separation technique. We are experts in AF4 theory and use the theory to get more information out of the technique (e.g. particle size distributions). We even developed our own AF4 data evaluation software. Please follow the link to more information about our AF4Eval software. If you want to get more information about AF4 theory please follow this link.

Our scientists are not only applying AF4 we are also working on the advancement of AF4 and its theory. Since 2012 we are working on the development of the AF4Eval program. Since then it was continuously improved. The software enables us to not only to use AF4 theory to determine the particle size distribution but also to tremendously increase the resolution of the technique by applying a diffusion correction algorithm.

The detection of soluble aggregates is a crucial step for a wide range of bio-pharmaceutical products. It can be seen as one of the most important quality parameter, independent of the type of material you want us to analyze for you.  if you have a gene therapy, a proteinaceous or an oligonucleotide based product. We can offer a   We are offering  a wide range of analytical techniques for the determination of soluble aggregates. We can support you with finding the best technique to determine the amount of soluble aggregates as well as their characterization. We also have a specialized web page on this very topic. Please follow the link for more information. 

We are offering a wide range of analytical techniques for the determination of particle size distributions.  The detection of nano particle size distributions (1 nm  – 1 μm) is growing in importance. Especially, since the interest in gene therapy increased. Our scientist are working since more than 10 years on the topic of particle size determination. Please follow the link for more information.
