Extended Uniformity of Dosage Unit Testing of Pharmaceutical Tablets, Using Transmission Raman Spectroscopy
Webinar Date/Time: Europe: Tuesday, 28 March, 2023 at 1pm BST | 2pm CET North America: Tuesday, 28 March, 2023 at 11am PDT | 1pm CDT | 2pm EDT Asia: Wednesday, 29 March, 2023 at 10:30am IST | 1pm SGT | 2 pm JST | 4pm AEDT
The increased sampling volume minimizes sub-sampling and makes the technique ideal for the assessment of assay, uniformity of dosage unit, and polymorphs in tablets and capsules. Due to its non-destructiveness and high sample throughput, transmission Raman spectroscopy can be applied to extended uniformity of dosage unit testing and enhanced control strategies aiming at real-time release for batch and continuous operations.

sCMOS vs CCD: Advancing High-Speed CARS Spectroscopy
July 14th 2025A new comparative study shows that scientific CMOS (sCMOS) cameras could rival traditional CCD detectors in certain Raman CARS spectroscopy applications, offering faster readout and dynamic range despite slightly higher noise levels.
How Analytical Chemists Are Navigating DOGE-Driven Funding Cuts
July 14th 2025DOGE-related federal funding cuts have sharply reduced salaries, lab budgets, and graduate support in academia. Researchers view the politically driven shifts in priorities as part of recurring systemic issues in U.S. science funding during administrative transitions. The impact on Federal laboratories has varied, with some seeing immediate effects and others experiencing more gradual effects. In general, there is rising uncertainty over future appropriations. Sustainable recovery may require structural reforms, leaner administration, and stronger industry-academia collaboration. New commentary underscores similar challenges, noting scaled-back graduate admissions, spending freezes, and a pervasive sense of overwhelming stress among faculty, students, and staff. This article addresses these issues for the analytical chemistry community.
Nanometer-Scale Studies Using Tip Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
February 8th 2013Volker Deckert, the winner of the 2013 Charles Mann Award, is advancing the use of tip enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) to push the lateral resolution of vibrational spectroscopy well below the Abbe limit, to achieve single-molecule sensitivity. Because the tip can be moved with sub-nanometer precision, structural information with unmatched spatial resolution can be achieved without the need of specific labels.
