Automation of sample preparation
VIRTUAL EVENT: 1pm-5pm UK BST
In recent years, most of the innovation seen in the pharmaceutical analysis arena has been on the instrumentation used for measurement and the analysis and interpretation of the data generated. At the same time the molecules coming out of discovery chemistry (often with poor solubility and / or bioavailability), are requiring formulators to develop sample matrices that are becoming increasingly complicated - including but not limited to amorphous solid dispersions, holt-melt extrudates and extended-release formulations. Extraction from these types of samples can be extremely challenging in terms of efficiency, reproducibility, cost, and transferability.

There are also challenges associated with performing trace-level analyses for nitrosamines and potentially mutagenic impurities where automation can help analysts routinely achieve extremely low detection limits.

This JPAG symposium will discuss some of the challenges in the topic of sample preparation and provide examples of potential solutions in the form of innovative instrumentation, automation, and the application of existing methodology to inform and educate the audience about advances in sample preparation.
