A look at two ICH draft publications reveals that the EWG has much revision work to do for these publications to fully cover the validation lifecycle process.

Raman and XRF spectroscopy were used to examine paint in artwork, revealing the potential of both techniques to verify the authenticity of famous works of art.

In this third part of this four-part series on spectroscopy instrument components, we take a closer look at components used in atomic spectroscopy instrumentation—from beryllium and Kapton windows used in X-ray analysis to sampler and skimmer cones and plasma torches for ICP systems.

Lu Wei of the California Institute of Technology, the 2022 winner of the Emerging Leader in Molecular Spectroscopy Award, is applying stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy for bioanalysis, spectroscopy-informed design of vibrational imaging probes, and sample-engineering strategies.
