Thursday 1st October 2026
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.
If you have a relevant case study that you would like to present as a poster, or a podium presentation, please contact us at team@jpag.org

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

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.





JPAG plans and delivers events that address all aspects of pharmaceutical analysis and related facets of medicine control & registration.
