METRIC Receives NIIMBL Funding for Novel Instrumentation and Biopharma Research

We are proud to announce that METRIC at NC State has secured funding from the National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals (NIIMBL) under a proposal titled “Isomer Level Identification and Quantification of N-Linked Glycans by LC-SLIM-QTOF-MS” led by David Muddiman, Taufika Islam Williams, and Jeff Enders.

This funding allowed METRIC to secure a high-resolution ion mobility gas-phase separation front-end called SLIM coupled to a QTOF mass spectrometer. In this work, the researchers will measure and quantitatively evaluate the N-linked glycan profile of a monoclonal antibody using the platform technology provided in collaboration with MOBILion and Agilent Technologies and several other NIIMBL partners using alternative approaches.
