The UniDec Processing Pipeline (UPP)

This mass spectrometry analysis software and method extends the UniDec Bayesian deconvolution algorithm for application to rapid analysis of biotherapeutics, including determining the drug-to-antibody ratio for antibody-drug conjugates and calculating the correct pairing of bispecific antibodies.  

Background:
Mass spectrometry (MS) and intact mass analysis are increasingly common in academic and industry research.  This has created a demand for more robust approaches to MS analysis. UniDec is one approach. UniDec is a software package based on a Bayesian deconvolution algorithm. The algorithm provides a rapid and robust approach to deconvolving electrospray mass spectra into their corresponding mass and charge components.  

Applications:

• Mass spectrometry analysis
• Biomolecules
• Antibody-drug conjugates

Advantages:

• Streamlines analysis for antibody-drug conjugates
• Improves data quality
• Removes deconvolution artifacts
