As AAV-based gene therapy evolves, improved analytical tools are needed to better characterize therapeutics and facilitate production. All AAV capsid particle populations, including impurities, require characterization due to their impact on clinical efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity. Charge detection mass spectrometry (CDMS), using an electrostatic linear ion trap (ELIT), is a cutting-edge technique for ultra-high mass analysis. It measures the mass-to charge ratio (m/z) and charge (z) of individual ions, enabling mass calculation. We demonstrate how dedicated CDMS software streamlines workflows for the assignment and relative quantification of AAV capsids, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in data analysis, ultimately supporting and improving analytical productivity required for AAV characterization during the manufacturing process.
