Event Overview:
Quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) are key components of every pharmaceutical manufacturing operation. To meet the standards set by United States Pharmacopoeia <232> and the International Council for Harmonization Q3D, QA/QC labs performing routine trace elemental analyses must rely on precise and reliable data while also adhering to the stringent FDA title 21 Code of Federal Regulations Part 11 data security requirements. Utilizing dependable and user-friendly testing solutions enables labs to efficiently meet their throughput demands. This webinar will explore the latest innovations in ICP-MS technology, designed to meet or exceed the requirements of pharma QA/QC labs performing routine trace elemental analyses. It will also cover available qualification protocols and services for laboratory instrumentation, ensuring complete, consistent, and accurate data.

How has spectroscopy education evolved over the years?
FT-IR spectroscopy, long treated as a mature bench technique for confirming a carbonyl stretch or fingerprinting a polymer, has quietly become one of chemistry’s most versatile discovery engines: it now infers molecular structure straight from a spectrum without a reference library, resolves chemistry tens of nanometers wide, and screens a fingerstick of blood for disease in minutes. The last five years of published research show FT-IR moving from a confirmatory tool into a predictive, autonomous, and field-ready analytical platform.
In this panel discussion, five SpecAcademy instructors examined why spectroscopy expertise has declined and how SpecAcademy aims to rebuild it through curated, fundamentals-based education suited to increasingly complex analytical work.
