Preparation of Pharmaceutical Samples for Elemental Impurities Analysis: Some Potential Approaches
The use of atomic spectroscopy techniques and sample preparation procedures is something that is not as routine in the pharmaceutical industry as chromatography-based techniques and sample preparation procedures are. With new requirements being implemented regarding elemental impurities by the United States Pharmacopeia and International Conference on Harmonization, analysts in the pharmaceutical industry are, in many cases, working to determine how best to analyze their samples. This article provides a brief overview of potential techniques.

Spectroscopy at Analytica
Analytica 2016, held this week in Munich, includes strong programming in spectroscopy techniques. Two sessions—one on modern analytical spectroscopy and another on bioprocessing monitoring—are entirely dedicated to spectroscopy.
