"We are excited to expands our biopharmaceutical portfolio and provide a new, advanced peptide mapping tool to help biopharmaceutical researchers characterize their therapeutic proteins," said Chris Becker, Ph.D., President and CEO of Protein Metrics. "Byomap's convenient annotation and comparison capabilities enable our customers to quickly report on comparability and advance their Quality by Design (QbD) initiatives to track quality attributes as their products move through development."

Originally developed in close collaboration with biopharmaceutical researchers, Byomap begins the quantitative evaluation of chromatograms by first detecting peaks, then performing automatic baseline and peak area determinations. Annotation is rapid with the aid of novel visualization tools. Byomap can simultaneously align and quantitatively compare up to ten peptide maps to an annotated reference map, flagging peaks with out-of-tolerance intensities. It can also be used to analyze other types of chromatograms such as for detached glycans. The software has sophisticated export features for figures and tables that can be used directly in regulatory filings.
