On-demand Ask the Experts session:
Pharmaceutical Forensics Utilizing Microspectroscopy
Duration: 28 minutes
Pharmaceutical forensics laboratories are confronted with a bewildering variety of samples for investigation. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and FTIR Micro spectroscopy (microspectroscopy) are workhorse tools in this setting. Most FTIR work concentrates in the mid-IR range (4000-400 wavenumbers) and involves the identification of components and contaminants, determining chemical distributions and concentrations, and building reports for various stakeholders.
In this webinar, we describe a single workstation that provides these mid/near bulk and micro analyses, which includes FT-Raman, near-IR (bulk and micro), far-IR (bulk), TGA-IR (deformulation), and even GC-IR, yielding a comprehensive pharmaceutical forensics toolbox. We also discuss how the versatility of this workstation gives maximum flexibility, especially while operating under one software umbrella.
Presenter:
Dr. Michael Bradley taught graduate and undergraduate chemistry for 15 years before becoming a field applications scientist with Thermo Fisher Scientific. He helped develop and launch the Thermo Scientific Nicolet iN10 FTIR Microscope and the Nicolet iS10 FTIR Spectrometer. He then led the development team for the Nicolet iS50 FTIR Spectrometer and most recently the Nicolet RaptIR FTIR Microscope.
Dr. Bradley is now the Product Manager for FTIR spectrometers and microscopes. He’s involved in product development and helps teach customers to better utilize spectroscopy tools. He ensures that customer feedback is incorporated into the development of next-generation hardware and software tools. Mike also sits on the Advisory Board for Spectroscopy Magazine.
