In the Zone: bioanalytical methods for quantifying oligonucleotides

LC–MS enables sensitive and specific measurement of intact oligonucleotides, metabolites and degradation products, supporting pharmacokinetic, biodistribution and toxicology studies. This analytical approach is essential for evaluating therapeutic efficacy and safety in drug development, offering robust data for regulatory submissions and clinical decision-making.

However, the unique structures, modifications and behaviors of oligonucleotide therapeutics present significant analytical challenges that demand specialized approaches and careful method optimization.

This feature brings together expert insights, practical solutions and detailed case studies to help navigate those challenges and achieve reliable oligonucleotide bioanalysis.
