Pharmaceutical Ingredient Uniformity Determination Using LIBS
Steve Buckley, PhD, TSI Incorporated
The uniform blending of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and excipients is critical to product quality. The homogeneity of ingredients within a batch or tablet must often be rapidly determined with minimal sample modification. In this experiment, LIBS analysis was used to rapidly monitor batch powder and tablet homogeneity.

1064 nm Dispersive Raman Systems for Analysis of Petroleum Products
Huawen (Owen) Wu, Jack Qian, Eric Bergles, and William Yang, BaySpec
Raman spectroscopy is an in situ, non-invasive, and sensitive technology to probe and analyze chemical compositions and structures with high specificity, in a near real-time manner. Based on these experiments, highly fluorescent samples such as lubricants and petroleum derivatives in their native states can now be characterized by 1064 nm dispersive Raman spectroscopy in a real-time, quantitative manner.

UV Imaging & Microspectroscopy of Lignin Samples
Craic Technologies
Lignin is a commonly occurring compound in plant matter. Providing support and strength, it combines with cellulose and other organic components to make up the secondary cell wall of certain plants. Its presence and abundance within the cell wall is one of the significant factors in determining the cell's resistance to decay and other degradation. Consisting of primarily of carbon, lignin is an abundant renewable source of organic carbon.
