JPAG Foundations Event: Sampling and Sample Preparation: The Cornerstones of Analytical Strategy and Successful Method Development
Royal Society of Chemistry, London
JPAG is proud to confirm that the next symposium in the successful Foundations series, aimed at early career pharmaceutical analysts will take place on 1st October 2026. The symposium will concentrate on sampling and sample preparation, which underpin the quality of any analytical dataset and are instrumental in achieving success with method development and analytical strategies. From confirming that samples are truly representative, to ensuring that these samples are handled and measured with an appropriate analytical instrument without corrupting or influencing the results, this symposium offers an invaluable opportunity for analytical scientists to strengthen their grasp of the fundamentals of sampling and sample preparation. Engage with experts who will share practical approaches to avoid result bias; unnecessary out of specification results; and ultimately build more control into analytical processes.
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: The symposium will include a poster session and the agenda has space for some “flash presentations.” If you would like to share a relevant case study as a poster or a short oral presentation, please contact us at team@jpag.org with your abstract.
The symposium will cover the following key topics:
• The strategic role of sample preparation in dictating analytical success in QC and development
• Why it is important to understand how, when and where the sample was taken
• The link between physical properties and the best sample preparation technique
• Automated sample preparation
• Case Studies (oral presentations and posters)
• Vendor Exhibition
With speakers from across the pharmaceutical industry, including AstraZeneca and Asymchem, as well as key equipment providers such as Sotax and Agilent, the event will cover theory and best practice for sample preparation and introduce the latest automation technology.

JPAG Pharmaceutical Analysis Research and Career Fair 2026
Royal Society of Chemistry, London
Based on the great success of the past years, JPAG presents this year's Pharmaceutical Analysis Symposium for postgraduate, undergraduate and early career scientists.
This event will provide the opportunity for you to listen to and hear the latest research being carried out by your peers. Early career scientists (undergraduate, postgraduate, industrial) conducting research in various areas of pharmaceutical science will showcase their work through oral and poster presentations with prizes for best posters and best podium presentations (including the prestigious Geoffrey Phillips Award).
A Careers Fair will also be running in parallel during the symposium and will provide delegates with an opportunity to have 1:1 consultations with career advisors from a selection of pharmaceutical employers and organisations including major pharmaceutical companies, contract research organisations and recruitment advisors. Perhaps your future employer will be here!
High profile Keynote speakers will provide inspirational and enlightening talks for delegates.
And additionally, the Royal Society of Chemistry's Careers Team will give a talk on 'Job Hunting in the Pharmaceutical Industry' and will conduct a 'CV Surgery' at the Careers Fair: these are one-to-one discussions to get invaluable advice on successful job applications. So be sure to bring your CV along!
Come along and network with peers, experienced academics, industrial scientists, high profile keynote presenters, and leading companies who are providing careers advice.
This is an event you will not want to miss!
Keynote speakers:
Prof Jayne Lawrence - University of Manchester
Dr Hannah Davies - Asymchem

TESTIMONIALS...
Very enjoyable and thought-provoking day; going away with plenty of notes and specific items for discussion.
Excellent meeting, challenging and thought provoking. The organisation was excellent, thanks to all the efforts that JPAG team have made.
I have not attended a bad JPAG meeting yet. They are really good value for money and I really love to get the presentations as PDFs
I did appreciate receiving the slides before, as then I could print them and make notes around them during the symposium.
Getting an industry perspective on this topic was most helpful.
Fantastic to hear from NHS speaker, provides real insight to patient/clinician considerations that we don't necessarily see in industry.
Hearing the information from the clinical setting side was very useful.
Well organized. This was an amazing session. Prior sharing of the presentation was a great add on!
The most useful aspect of the webinar was the variety in the presentations across industry and the regulators. Really good to review the presentations beforehand.
Good value, well organised symposium. Always useful for focused topics.
A very good day. Enjoyed getting to speak to the presenters to discuss current challenges in industry.
