Scope of Work To purchase and install a high-resolution ion mobility (HRIM) – high resolution mass spectrometer (HRMS) system to expand and augment the capacity and capability of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure pharmaceutical safety, efficacy, and high quality. In particular, this system will offer a wealth of multi-attribute information that can enable comprehensive analysis of complex biologics, peptide and oligonucleotide therapeutics and other complex drug products, thus promoting an in-depth understanding of the advanced manufacturing methods employed in the production of these complex therapeutic drug products. 2. Background: High resolution mass spectrometer (HRMS) is essential in the characterization of emerging complex and biological drugs including peptides, proteins, oligonucleotides, and other complex mixtures. The 2 accurate mass provided by HRMS needs to be obtained to confidently identify active ingredients, isoforms, and impurities. The high resolution and high sensitivity by HRMS are needed to differentiate all the components including structurally-similar ones and to detect low-level species such as modifications and impurities, which are commonly present and are critical quality attributes in these highly complex and heterogeneous systems. Additionally, physical separation of highly heterogeneous complex drug products including impurities is needed prior to HRMS analysis and is often achieved with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). However, advanced separation techniques such as ion mobility (IM) technology can allow separation of chromatographically coeluting ions such as by their molecular shape and mobility. This additional dimension of separation in addition to HPLC enables a higher resolving power and can thus address the analytical challenges posed by the complexities of those drug products. The high-resolution ion mobility (HRIM) can further enhance the resolving power to separate structurally similar components that are not separated by LC, MS or low-resolution IM. The LC-HRIM-HRMS system permits the analysis of multiple critical quality attributes on a single analytical platform, enables complete process and product characterization, and offers the potential for drug manufacturers to gain deep understanding of their manufacturing processes, particularly the biopharmaceutical and complex product manufacturing.
