Welcome to Ludger

Ludger specialises in analytical technology for biopharmaceutical glycosylation. The company conducts research and development in new glycotechnology and produces a range of glycoprofiling tools for the biotechnology and pharmaceuticals industries.

The company was founded in 1999 by Dr. Daryl Fernandes who was a member of the Glycobiology Institute at the University of Oxford then Oxford GlycoSciences. Ludger's research and manufacturing facilities are located at the Culham Science Centre near Oxford, UK.

Our glycoprofiling products include kits and associated technology for the release of glycans from glycoconjugates, fluorophore and chromophore tagging of glycans and glycopeptides, glycan HPLC, glycan standards, and tools for mass spectral analysis of glycans.

Our glycoprofiling services include (a) detailed characterization of biopharmaceutical glycosylation for regulatory submissions, drug design, and process optimization and (b) method development for glycoprofiling modules to be used for product lot release and in-process monitoring.
