Spectroscopy

Spectroscopy can be used to achieve repeatable, high throughput analysis for impurities, dosage, and stability in finished drug products or raw ingredients. Spectroscopy is a broad term which encompass disciplines such as Raman spectrometers and other techniques including gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS). In this spectroscopy hub, you can find coverage on the latest pharmaceutical spectroscopy trends, webinars, and products.

From Laboratory to Market: Advanced Analytical Approaches in Biopharma
The drug development landscape has undergone a massive transformation in recent years, driven by advancements in bioprocessing and the rise of biologics. Compared to traditional small-molecule drugs, biologics differ significantly in terms of their production methods, molecular complexities and mechanisms of action.1 Their large size and elaborate ... read more
Advancements in Analytical Techniques
As analytical evaluation thresholds (AETs) continue to decrease, advancements in mass spectrometry have enabled us to keep pace with these changes. We can now screen at much lower levels than before, reliably detecting and identifying compounds that are close to the AET. High resolution mass spectrometry both in the LC and GC space have ... read more
Why Multimodal Data is Growing In Pharma
Today’s research and development (R&D) pipelines are increasingly diverse, encompassing a broad range of modalities, including antibodies, proteins and peptides, cell and gene therapies, oligonucleotide therapeutics, small molecules, and antibody-drug conjugates. read more

Extractables and Leachables Research is Gaining Maturity
The pharmaceutical and medtech industries, along with their associated regulators, are paying increasing attention to testing requirements for extractables and leachables (E&L) to guarantee the safety, quality and efficacy of their products. read more
Objectionable Microorganisms: Keeping Bad Bugs Out of Good Products
No pharmaceutical company wants to sell a non-sterile drug contaminated with objectionable microorganisms, but how does a company know which organisms are objectionable and how do they ensure their drugs do not contain them? read more
Automated Morphological Imaging: Deeper Insight into your Pharmaceutical Formulation or Product
Fully-automated morphological imaging of a pharmaceutical formulation or product can deliver particle size and shape information in a single measurement, and with minimal user intervention. read more
Challenging the Microbial Sanitization of a Liquid Chromatography System
In developing biologics or biotherapeutics, a great deal of effort is used to ensure that none of the contaminating or hazardous residual components from the organisms responsible for protein expression remain after purification. read more
Closure and Stopper Systems: Getting Big Benefits from Small Components
Protecting your liquid transfer processes—and your investment in biopharmaceutical materials—involves a multitude of components, from tubing and piping, to connectors and filters, to bioreactors and storage vessels. read more
