Characterization of the Elemental Composition of Black Pepper by ICP & ICP/MS for use as a Tool to Identify Potentially Adulterated or Contaminated Spices

In this exclusive Spectroscopy interview, John Richmond and Tom Dearing of Thermo Fisher Scientific discuss the company’s Raman technology and the latest trends for process monitoring across various applications.

Quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) are essential in pharmaceutical manufacturing to ensure compliance with standards like United States Pharmacopoeia <232> and ICH Q3D, as well as FDA regulations. Reliable and user-friendly testing solutions help QA/QC labs deliver precise trace elemental analyses while meeting throughput demands and data security requirements.

A new study in Icarus by Fabian Seel and colleagues at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) reveals how atmospheric conditions significantly impact LIBS plasma behavior.

ICP-MS is the top choice for trace element analysis in bodily fluids. The NexION® 5000 ensures fast, precise detection in serum with simple sample prep.

USP and ICH Q3D set strict limits for elemental impurities in drugs. The NexION® 1100 ICP-MS ensures accurate, interference-free analysis of pharmaceutical products.

Controlling metal impurities in CO is vital for semiconductor fabrication. The NexION® 2200 ICP-MS with gas direct injection (GDI) enables faster, more sensitive analysis.
