Executive Overview

SmaBio Labs delivers end-to-end, cGMP-compliant analytical services designed to support pharmaceutical development from early research through commercialization. Our expertise spans small molecules, peptides, biologics, and complex APIs, with a strong focus on regulatory readiness for IND, NDA and ANDA submissions. By combining advanced instrumentation, scientific depth, and regulatory insight, we enable sponsors to accelerate development timelines while maintaining the highest standards of data integrity and compliance. 

ADC Analytical Testing Capabilities 

Core Analytics

End-to-End ADC Characterization 

  • Antibody, linker, payload, and conjugate-level testing 

  • DAR determination (UV, HIC, LC-MS) 

  • Conjugation site and distribution analysis 

Advanced Separation & Detection 

  • HIC, SEC, IEX, RP-HPLC 

  • Intact mass and subunit LC-MS 

  • Peptide mapping and payload-related impurity profiling 

Potency, Release & Stability Testing 

  • In vitro drug release (free payload, linker cleavage) 

  • Stability Studies under ICH conditions, including low temperatures (-20C to -80C) 

Bioanalytical & Safety-Relevant Assays 

  • Free vs. conjugated drug quantification 

  • Aggregation, fragmentation, and charge variant analysis 

  • Residual solvents, elemental impurities, and extractables support 

Protein & Polypeptide Analytical Testing Capabilities 

Structural & Physicochemical Characterization 

  • Molecular weight confirmation (intact, reduced, subunit LC-MS) 

  • Primary structure and sequence confirmation (peptide mapping) 

  • Higher-order structure assessment (CD, FTIR, DSC) 

Purity, Heterogeneity & Impurity Profiling 

  • Aggregates and fragments (SEC, SDS-PAGE, CE-SDS) 

  • Charge variants (IEX) 

  • Oxidation, deamidation, truncation, and related impurities 

Polypeptide Testing 

  • Peptide identity and content (RP-HPLC, LC-MS) 

  • Related substances 

  • Residual solvents 

Potency & Functional Assays 

  • Binding and activity assays (cell-based or biochemical) 

  • Enzymatic activity and receptor interaction testing
