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.

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Learn the impact of particles and aggregates in immunogenicity and toxicity.
  • Understand how combining submicron IR and Raman microspectroscopy overcomes the limitations of traditional vibrational spectroscopy.
  • Learn how O-PTIR microspectroscopy greatly improves knowledge and understanding of particles and aggregates in biopharmaceuticals.

Who Should Attend:

  • Particle analysis/biopharmaceutical development scientists and engineers
  • PAT and manufacturing engineers and scientists
  • Regulatory compliance and quality operations scientific personnel
