Improving Drug Formulation with Raman and IR Spectroscopy
The physicochemical properties of drugs are often very diverse and challenging to analyze. Spectroscopy recently spoke with Dr. Lynne Taylor of the Department of Industrial and Physical Pharmacy at Purdue University, and the 2014 Coblentz Society Craver Award winner, about her on-going research using Raman and IR spectroscopy to study drugs and drug excipients — and the interactions of the two. Here, she discusses the various avenues of her research, including crystallization and drug-rich nanodroplets. MORE » |
Dual-FL - The world's fastest Fluorometer
Collect incredibly rapid kinetics data, or complete excitation emission matrix (EEMs) in seconds with the world’s only CCD based benchtop spectrofluorometer combined with a UV-VIS spectrophotometer. The simultaneous fluorescence and absorbance data is automatically corrected for inner-filter effects in your spectra.
- The only true simultaneous absorbance-fluorescence system available!
- Spectral rates as fast as 80,000 nm/s.
- Water Raman S/N sensitivity greater than 20,000:1 RMS.

Raman Microscopy for Detecting Counterfeit Drugs — A Study of the Tablets Versus the Packaging
With the increasing proliferation of counterfeit drug products, there is an incentive to screen drugs for legitimacy. One method is to examine the tablet itself, which is usually a destructive operation. Another method that has been explored is to characterize the packaging, which enables nondestructive screening of the product. Raman microscopy has been found to be a useful tool, and it is often the tool of choice for these measurements. MORE » |

Calibration Transfer, Part V: The Mathematics of Wavelength Standards Used for Spectroscopy
How does one compute the mathematical certainty of wavelength standards used for calibrating instrumentation used for molecular spectroscopy measurements? This question becomes of major importance when the technique used for measurement requires the collection of large databases for use in qualitative searches or quantitative multivariate analysis.

RamanFest Highlights a Wide Range of Techniques and Applications
Horiba Scientific's second annual RamanFest conference was held June 12–13, 2014, in Boston, Massachusetts, in conjunction with Harvard University. The conference took place on the Harvard campus in the Pfizer auditorium. The event chairs were Professor Sunny Xie of Harvard University, Dr. Dan Fu of Harvard University, and Dr. Andrew Whitley of Horiba Scientific. MORE » |
PFA Cyclonic Spray Chamber
The Savillex PFA cyclonic spray chamber (CSC) for ICP-OES and ICP-MS is manufactured using Savillex’s unique stretch blow molding technology. Unlike other inert cyclonics, which are manufactured from individual machined parts that are assembled or welded together, stretch blow molding allows the Savillex PFA CSC to be molded in an optimum cyclonic shape. The Savillex PFA CSC has excellent stability and sensitivity, and is also available with an optional surface treatment, which further enhances sensitivity. A range of PFA connectors are available to fit a wide variety of ICP-OES and ICP-MS instruments.
