Switching to a portable Raman device that can read through both transparent and non-transparent containers will help you move towards ‘zero waste,’ drastically reduce sampling and associated costs, and increase productivity.

The Agilent Raman Raw Material Identity Verification System (Vaya) enables zero-waste workflows with its new unique spatial shift Raman spectroscopy (SORS) technology, enabling raw materials to be verified through opaque and transparent containers. This unique innovation eliminates the need to sample most raw materials, significantly reducing unnecessary waste of time, personnel, and materials. Additionally, Vaya has received the Accountability, Consistency and Transparency (ACT) label certification from My Green Lab, highlighting the development and life cycle of environmentally friendly products.

Laboratory balance cleaning is extremely important for accurate weighing results and operator safety. It can be challenging but can also be fast and easy, if you know how to do it right.

A clean analytical balance or precision balance is the first step towards safe and accurate weighing. Cleaning increases user safety and reduces the risk of cross-contamination and is the most important action to prolonged instrument life.

While connecting capillaries are not among the primary liquid chromatography modules, they can still play an important role in the LC process and its results. Something as simple as a bad connection can potentially cause chromatography problems, such as peak shape issues, that may take you a long time to troubleshoot. Careful attention to making a good connection can reduce frustration and save time troubleshooting. In this webinar, we will discuss various types of capillaries and fittings and provide helpful information on selection criteria.  We will also provide guidelines for troubleshooting issues related to capillaries and fittings.

USP and Ph. Eur. chapters are legally binding for all pharmaceutical companies in the US and Europe as well as companies that import pharmaceutical products to the US and Europe. As such, USP and Ph. Eur. requirements are enforced in the framework of GMP audits performed by regulatory bodies.

Both chapters focus on lifecycle management of analytical balances used for quality control of drugs and state that calibration is mandatory.

In this webinar we will help to guide you through the topic of European Pharmacopoeia Chapter 2.1.7 and USP in relation to weighing, covering:

• The need for minimum weight and the requirements of USP/changes to Ph.Eur regarding balances
• What are the implications and requirements relating to weighing?
• Controlling and improving performance
• Calibration and certification
• Routine testing
• Good Weighing Practice™ (GWP^®)

Food testing regulatory methods around the world require separation of fatty acid and its isomers when determining fatty acid composition by GC/FID. This is, perhaps, one of the oldest and most popular gas chromatography analyses.

While many other GC methods have adopted new trends such as shorter, high-efficiency GC columns, or moved to more selective detectors, such as mass spectrometers, the GC/FID method for analysis of free fatty acids or cis-trans fatty acids isomers has seen little change in the last few decades. This is in part because the set of analytes that needs to be resolved is challenging.

In this webinar, we will discuss innovative technologies in GC column chemistries that can be applied for fast and accurate analysis of fatty acids and fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs).

Residual solvents are substances that remain in a drug product after the manufacturing process, originating from materials used or reactions occurring during production. Residual solvents pose potential health risks, so regulatory bodies like the ICH and the USP has set limits and testing requirements to ensure product safety.

Register for the webinar to know more about recent changes in USP 467, latest trends & applications in residual solvent analysis along with analytical workflow in order to get accurate & reproducible results

Demands for high lab productivity means making sure your HPLC system is ready to perform. Understanding the key components of your HPLC system can help minimize down-time. In this webinar, we will focus on one of those key components, your Agilent HPLC pump. We will look at some of the capabilities of your pump and how to choose a column that best complements it. We will discuss best practices to help maximize up-time.  In addition, we will cover critical maintenance to keep your pump operational day-after-day.

Balances and scales play a critical role in research and development, quality assurance, and production. Errors in weighing cost time and money, due to rework, waste, and product recalls.

In order to maintain consistent product quality and comply with standards and regulations, the performance of balances and scales needs to be verified regularly with a calibration. Routine testing of balances or scales in-between these scheduled calibrations helps to maintain accuracy by ensuring early detection of non-conformance with weighing process requirements so that corrective action can be taken in a timely manner.

This webinar will give you a good understanding of why balance and scale testing is crucial for the accuracy of your weighing results in laboratory and production environments. We explain what your routine testing plan must contain, and, on top of that, we offer an overview of how to perform these routine tests correctly.

Why is knowledge of the glass transition so important?

The glass transition provides information about the molecular properties of a material as it is heated or cooled within a certain range. It defines the upper temperature limit for the use of solid amorphous materials, and the lower temperature limit for rubbery materials. It can also provide information about the degree of cure.

Knowing the glass transition is important for optimizing production parameters and material properties. In addition, the Tg can be used to identify and compare materials and is therefore important in quality control and in failure analysis.
