Solution Shelf Life – Using Viscosity to Investigate Ageing Protein Formulations

Quantifying the ageing of protein solutions is an important part of formulation development. Understanding how long protein solutions can be stored under certain conditions is the first step in developing formulations that increase shelf life. Concentrated protein solutions can undergo dramatic structural changes as they age, which can be detected by viscosity measurements. Additionally, the impact of including excipients on the ageing process of protein formulations can be measured directly using viscosity. In this webinar we show how we used automated viscosity measurements to monitor the ageing of concentrated bovine gamma globulin in phosphate buffered saline solutions with different excipients.
