Webinar Date/Time: Wednesday, December 11th, 11:00 AM EST
Optical Photothermal Infrared (O-PTIR) Spectroscopy is an optical microscopy-based technique that can achieve submicron chemical spatial resolution. O-PTIR performs simultaneous infrared (IR)/Raman microspectroscopy measurements and coincident particle characterization and visualization at submicron (<1 um) resolution to improve product knowledge and process understanding of biopharmaceuticals.

Event Overview:
This webinar will discuss the adverse impact of particulate matter and aggregates for immunogenicity and the need to improve the characterization of submicron aggregates/particles in biopharmaceuticals. Optical Photothermal Infrared (O-PTIR) technology will be reviewed. The benefits of O-PTIR to perform nondestructive, simultaneous infrared (IR)/Raman measurements with submicron spatial resolution on particulate matter and aggregates in biopharmaceutical formulations (IV infusion in-use studies, stability and degradation studies) will be demonstrated.

Using Raman Spectroscopy and Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy to Detect Cholesterol Disorders
November 25th 2024Researchers have developed a highly sensitive method using Raman and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with gold nanoparticles to accurately quantify intracellular cholesterol.
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.
