“…For example, conventional colorimetric (TNBS, fluorometric) 21,22 and chromatographic characterization (HPLC-SEC, RP-HPLC, gel permeation chromatography) [23][24][25] in combination with light scattering, MALDI-MS 24,[26][27][28] , and capillary electrophoresis 29,30 have been applied for analysis of PEGylated proteins. Specific colorimetric detection of PEG with iodine 31, 32 using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) or Raman spectroscopy 24 and nuclear magnetic resonance 33, 34 have also been described. To monitor flat PEGylated surfaces, methods typically used include contact angle and zeta potential measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ellipsometry, as well as atomic force (AFM), scanning electron (SEM) and transmission electron (TEM) microscopy 16 .…”
