Chromatography

Chromatography is a lab technique used to separate and identify components within a sample based on chemical or physical properties. Chromatography techniques such as gas chromatography and liquid chromatography are powerful tools for small molecule analysis in labs conducting drug impurity analysis, drug discovery, or pharmaceutical stability testing. In this hub, you can explore the latest chromatography tools and techniques available to pharmaceutical researchers, read expert advice and explore industry best practices.

Transforming Substance Data for Faster Submissions and Improved Drug Safety
When people want to understand a word, they turn to a dictionary for its widely accepted definition, history, and relation to other words. In the scientific field, the need to access standardized definitions is no different, and that’s exactly why the Global Substance Registration System (GSRS) was developed. read more
The Critical Role of Diagnostics in Antimicrobial Stewardship
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a pressing global health challenge. While much of the discussion is focused on future implications, resistant infections are already having a profound impact. In 2019, bacterial AMR was directly responsible for an estimated 1.27 million deaths worldwide - more than HIV/AIDs or malaria.. The actions we take today ... read more

Analysis of Pharmaceutical Raw Materials Through Packaging Using an FT-NIR Fiber Optic Probe
The analysis of all incoming pharmaceutical raw materials is key part of 21CFR compliance. It is therefore important to have a high-throughput method by which raw materials may be analyzed, while also preventing sample exposure. read more
