Facilitating Drug Development with In Situ FT-IR and Data-Rich Experimentation
Author(s)Mettler Toledo
Learn how Merck applies in situ FTIR in data-rich experimentation. This webcast highlights past and ongoing efforts centering on enzyme discovery and reaction engineering, underpinned by data-rich experimentation methods including high-throughput experimentation and analysis, automation, and in situ reaction analysis using novel analytical tools. Furthermore, development of a robust process optimized for a commercially relevant synthetic chemistry reactor (vs. for example a more optimal bioreactor or fermenter) will be reviewed including demonstration across scales.

Event Overview:
Join us for this webcast to learn how in situ Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and other novel tools are being deployed in the pharmaceutical industry to facilitate and accelerate drug development and synthesis.
Recent advances in the biocatalytic retrosynthetic toolbox have transformed the way the pharmaceutical company Merck conceives of novel synthetic routes, particularly for drug candidates with significant structural similarity to naturally occurring biomolecules. In this presentation, we will showcase how collaborative efforts across Process R&D at Merck are contributing towards building deep, fundamental understanding of a key intermediate in the synthesis of a new drug candidates. We will highlight past and ongoing efforts centering on enzyme discovery and reaction engineering, underpinned by data-rich experimentation (DRE) methods including; high-throughput experimentation and analysis, automation, and in situ reaction analysis using novel analytical tools, including FT-IR. Furthermore, development of a robust process optimized for a commercially relevant synthetic chemistry reactor will be reviewed including demonstration across scales.
Key Learning Objectives:
- How end-to-end automation enables experimental execution and data capture.
- How to ensure reaction performance across scales
- High-density, data-rich, time-course reaction analysis is critical to gaining deep process understanding
Speaker: Shane Grosser, Senior Principal Scientist, Merck

How has spectroscopy education evolved over the years?
FT-IR spectroscopy, long treated as a mature bench technique for confirming a carbonyl stretch or fingerprinting a polymer, has quietly become one of chemistry’s most versatile discovery engines: it now infers molecular structure straight from a spectrum without a reference library, resolves chemistry tens of nanometers wide, and screens a fingerstick of blood for disease in minutes. The last five years of published research show FT-IR moving from a confirmatory tool into a predictive, autonomous, and field-ready analytical platform.
In this panel discussion, five SpecAcademy instructors examined why spectroscopy expertise has declined and how SpecAcademy aims to rebuild it through curated, fundamentals-based education suited to increasingly complex analytical work.
A recent roundtable discussion with the SpecAcademy instructors explored why spectroscopy expertise has eroded and how SpecAcademy aims to rebuild it.
The agreement gives North American customers a stocked, domestic source for InGaAs PIN photodiodes and avalanche photodiodes from the Scottish manufacturer.
The gap between classroom training and industry practice is pushing analysts toward familiar techniques instead of the most appropriate ones.
Panelists from the Society for Applied Spectroscopy, the Coblentz Society, Syensqo, Specac, and the University of Georgia discuss how a mismatch between academic curricula and industry practice leaves many analysts unsure when, and how, to use infrared and Raman spectroscopy.
