A majority of current discussion about NIR's applicability to pharmaceutical manufacturing is focused on preparative processes such as granulation, drying, and blending. The author examines different considerations for NIR for the output of the manufacturing line - finished tablet analysis.
High-Speed Laser MS for Precise, Prep-Free Environmental Particle Tracking
April 21st 2025Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have demonstrated that a fast, laser-based mass spectrometry method—LA-ICP-TOF-MS—can accurately detect and identify airborne environmental particles, including toxic metal particles like ruthenium, without the need for complex sample preparation. The work offers a breakthrough in rapid, high-resolution analysis of environmental pollutants.
