Sample Preparation in Accordance with USP <232>/<233>

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.

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.

Trace impurities in tungsten hexacarbonyl must be measured precisely. The NexION® 1100 ICP-MS eliminates interferences, enabling accurate multi-element analysis.
