Overview of Key Principles of Dynamic Light Scattering to protein therapeutic formulations – Part 3

Overview of Key Principles of Dynamic Light Scattering to protein therapeutic formulations

Part 3

This four-part series examines common issues and questions surrounding the principles, measurements and analysis of DLS data and discusses how to minimize the time required for and increase the accuracy of acquiring and interpreting DLS data during the biotherapeutic development process.

In Part Three, we cover the basic types of DLS deconvolution algorithms used to extract the intensity weighted particle size distribution from the measured correlogram.

Executive Summary

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is an analytical technique used to measure the particle size distribution of protein formulations across the oligomer and sub-micron size ranges of approximately 1 nm to 1 µm. The popularity of DLS within the biopharmaceutical industry is a consequence of its wide working size and extended sample concentration ranges, as well as its low volume requirements.  With that said, the challenge that remains with the application of DLS to protein therapeutic formulations is centered around data interpretation. In this four-part white paper series, common issues and questions surrounding the principles, measurements and analysis of DLS data are discussed in order to help minimize the time required for and complexity of acquiring and interpreting DLS data that is critical throughout the development process. In this third white paper of the series, we cover the basic types of DLS deconvolution algorithms used to extract the intensity weighted particle size distribution from the measured correlogram.
