ON-DEMAND WEBINARS

Physical Characterization of Solids in the Pharma Industry

Join Ben Vanasse, Chemistry, Manufacturing and Control (CMC) Specialist for a live webinar on the physical characterization of pharmaceutical products. He will provide detailed examples to help you understand how the physical nature of a drug or drug product can impact its behavior in the body.



The Future Role of ICPMS-QQQ in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Bassem (Sam) Ebaid, Senior Chemist and Element’s ICPMS-QQQ subject matter expert, guides you through the history of ICPMS-QQQ as well as its future role in the pharmaceutical industry.

 

Raw Materials Testing and CGMP Stability Services
What is raw materials testing? How does it work? What information does the testing provide? When should I use it?

Ben Vanasse, Chemistry, Manufacturing and Control (CMC) subject matter expert at Element, provides an overview of raw materials testing and CGMP stability services.

USP <761> Qualitative & Quantitative NMR Analysis
What is Magnetic Resonance and how does it work? What information does the NMR spectrum provide? Element’s on-demand webinar on qualitative and quantitative NMR analysis provides you with information on when to use NMR and how to characterize molecules qualitatively and quantitatively.

 


WHITE PAPERS

Case Study: Detecting Contamination in Pharmaceutical Products
Particulate identification and analysis are crucial steps towards resolving suspected contamination of products. The article provides an understanding of contaminant analysis techniques, such as light microscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, SEM coupled with EDS, along with a case study.

Article: USP <660> – Testing Glass Containers for Their Chemical Stability
The USP enforces rigorous testing requirements for containers and their closure system as they must not interact physically or chemically with the substance in any way that would alter its quality. This article explores the requirements and regulations for pharmaceutical glass containers as well as the testing involved.
