Bioanalysis

Peptide therapeutics, including GLP-1 receptor agonists, require sensitive, selective quantitation in complex biological matrices. Agilent triple quadrupole LC/MS workflows enable accurate quantitation of low-abundance peptides, including tirzepatide and semaglutide, in plasma, supporting pharmacokinetic, bioavailability, and biomarker studies throughout drug development.

Oral formulation testing

Oral GLP-1 receptor agonists and other therapeutic peptides face significant bioavailability challenges due to peptide instability, limited gastrointestinal absorption, and complex formulation requirements. Agilent dissolution testing, LC/MS, Cary UV-Vis, and TRS100 solutions provide insights into drug release, formulation performance, and product quality, supporting accelerated development and compliance-ready workflows.
