AAIPharma Services was asked to develop a method to monitor levels of an adjuvant in a vaccine product. The adjuvant component was a high molecular weight polymeric compound with no UV chromophore. The polymer contained both strongly hydrophobic and strongly hydrophilic groups and was present in very low levels in the vaccine matrix. A robust and accurate analytical method that could address the challenges posed by the amphiphilic nature of the molecule and high ionic strength of the adjuvant matrix was needed to satisfy FDA requirements.
