Agilent Technologies: Transitioning from the </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/icpms/library?mainauthorItems=10&amp;search=Cary+630"><strong>Agilent Cary 630 FTIR</strong></a><strong> to the </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/icpms/library?mainauthorItems=10&amp;search=Cary+635"><strong>Agilent Cary 635 FTIR Spectrometer</strong></a></h3><p><strong>Demonstrating methodology equivalence for pharmaceutical applications</strong></p><ul><li>Technical note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/pdf/te_cary_630_ftir_transition_cary_635_ftir_5994_9408en_agilent_a2ea2ce512.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;</strong></li></ul><p>Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a powerful analytical tool used to analyze a wide variety of materials by interpreting their infrared (IR) wavenumber absorptions. Within pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries, FTIR analysis is integral for material identification and quality assurance of pharmaceutical&nbsp;substances.&nbsp;</p><p>In the pharmaceutical industry, the Agilent Cary 630 FTIR is used for the identification of drug products, incoming goods, and packaging materials, as specified in global pharmacopoeias, and provides quantitative information such as the concentration of components within pharmaceutical formulations.&nbsp;</p><p>Agilent now presents the Cary 635 FTIR spectrometer—an ultracompact, easy-to-use, high-performing, portable FTIR system. With greater IR power, the Cary 635 FTIR features greater detection sensitivity and faster scanning times. With its predecessor's modular design, the Cary 635 FTIR can analyze the same samples with a newly enhanced performance quality and efficiency.&nbsp;</p><p>For users in the pharmaceutical industry who have experience with the Cary 630 FTIR, this technical overview demonstrates the common methodologies and workflows between the Cary 635 FTIR and Cary 630 FTIR spectrometers for pharmaceutical purposes. It will compare the ability of the two instruments to measure and label IR spectra, identify relevant compounds such as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and quantify substances within commercial&nbsp;formulations.</p><h4><strong>Instrumentation and software&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>For comparison, all three application tests were conducted using the Cary 630 FTIR and Cary 635 FTIR spectrometers with ZnSe optics and equipped with a single-reflection diamond attenuated total reflectance (ATR) accessory. The specific method parameters are outlined within each corresponding application. Both the Cary 635 FTIR and Cary 630 FTIR use Agilent MicroLab software, which provides step-by-step instructions with supporting images to guide users through the entire analytical workflow. Both spectrometers follow the same methods and operational procedures from sample loading to data processing (Figure 1). Results are presented in an easy-to-understand, color-coded format with customizable limits, ensuring a rapid and intuitive data review.</p><h4><strong>Conclusion&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>The comparison presented here of both the Agilent Cary 635 FTIR and Cary 630 FTIR spectrometers demonstrated shared methodologies that produced consistent results across key applications within pharmacopoeia, including spectrum production, compound identification, and substance&nbsp;quantification. Featuring the same modularity, robustness, and ease of use as the Cary 630 FTIR, the Cary 635 FTIR also offers greater sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio, resulting from an enhanced IR source intensity. Therefore, users operating in regulated environments can confidently upgrade to the Cary 635 FTIR with the understanding that the workflow from the Cary 630 FTIR is directly transferrable, and that their routine analyses will remain consistent and reliable.</p><h3><strong>2. Metrohm: Coconut water analysis by NIRS</strong></h3><p><strong>Determination of Brix, salinity, conductivity, and pH with one instrument</strong></p><ul><li>Application note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/pdf/an_nir_145_download_05589da42d.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><p>Fresh coconut water is the main edible part of the coconut (aside from the coconut meat) and has gained popularity as a health drink in recent years. Multiple factors influence the quality, such as harvesting time, growth location, and storage duration. This poses a challenge for industrial producers to achieve and maintain the desired product quality.&nbsp;</p><p>Testing the properties of coconut water with standard laboratory methods can be challenging, since trained lab personnel are needed. In contrast, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is fast, chemical-free, and does not require sample preparation. This Application Note explains how NIRS is used for the multiparameter analysis of coconut water. The NIRS solution is easy to use and can be implemented either atline or in a quality control lab.</p><h4><strong>EXPERIMENTAL EQUIPMENT&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>An <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/icpms/library?mainauthorItems=220&amp;search=OMNIS+NIR"><strong>OMNIS NIR Analyzer </strong></a>Liquid with a 1 mm flowthrough cell (Figure 1) was used to analyze 206 coconut samples from a commercial supplier. In this configuration, a peristaltic pump injects the sample into the flow-through cell, which is inserted into the cuvette holder. The cell is rinsed with water after each measurement.</p><h4><strong>CONCLUSION</strong></h4><p>This Application Note shows the feasibility of using NIR spectroscopy for the quality control of coconut water. The parameters Brix, conductivity, turbidity, pH value, and salinity can be monitored by NIRS in seconds without any sample preparation. The presented setup with a flow-through cell not only simplifies sample handling but also allows full automation when using an OMNIS Sample Robot. In addition to coconut water, the coconut fruit itself can also be analyzed using near-infrared spectroscopy.</p><h3><strong>3. Shimadzu / AOAC: Analysis of Heavy Metals in Baby Food Using ICP-MS</strong></h3><ul><li>Poster</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/pdf/aoac_2026_46_d9c14b32e0.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><p>Babies are more vulnerable to the effects of toxic metals, and baby food therefore requires careful testing. US and EU regulations1)–3) set limits for toxic metals in baby food. This study analyzed five baby foods using the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/icpms/library?mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=ICPMS-2040%2F2050"><strong>ICPMS-2040/2050</strong></a> and evaluated spike recovery and long-term stability.</p><h4><strong>Conclusion&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>Elemental analysis of baby food was conducted using ICP-MS.&nbsp;</p><p>We achieved detection limits that met stringent standards. The spike recovery tests provided good results for all samples with different matrices, confirming the validity of the analysis. Additionally, we analyzed 50 samples of infant formula with a high matrix approximately six hours and confirmed good stability.</p><h3><strong>4. Thermo Fisher Scientific: Process Raman as a comprehensive solution for downstream buffer workflow</strong></h3><ul><li>Application note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/pdf/process_raman_as_comprehensive_solution_an1440_en_c8049b8ede.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><p>Raman technology is rapidly gaining interest as a promising Process Analytical Technology (PAT) solution for real-time, non-invasive monitoring and control of downstream biopharma processes, especially for therapeutics like monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and nucleic acids. Raman measurement, based on the vibration of molecular bonds, is highly specific for identification and quantification, even in complex or interfering matrices.&nbsp;</p><p>As an in-line PAT tool, Raman spectroscopy offers direct and rapid measurement in aqueous phases without sample preparation. These features make it ideal for monitoring and controlling dynamic processes such as downstream processing.</p><p>This study demonstrates a real-time methodology for accurately quantifying formulation excipients in the dynamic ultrafiltration/diafiltration (UF/DF) process using the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/all/products/2233"><strong>Thermo Scientific™ MarqMetrix™ All-In-One Process Raman Analyzer</strong></a> (Figure 1). In addition, this study also illustrates a case where process Raman was able to provide real-time information on buffer quality.</p><h4><strong>Results&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>The Partial Least Squares (PLS) models for L-histidine, L-arginine, and sucrose were initially tested using seven independent samples collected on three different process Raman analyzers. Data were mathematically processed to standardize spectra across instruments before applying the models. All the spectra were interpolated to have a common x-axis by equally spacing the 2048 pixels across 60 to 3250 cm-1 Raman shift, followed by relative y-axis standardization using the SRM fluorescence data as described in the NIST standardization protocol.² Figure&nbsp;3 shows the correlation plot of predicted versus reference values for L-histidine, L-arginine, and sucrose for the validation samples. A correlation coefficient of over 95% and a root means square error (RMSE) of less than 5% of the reference value for calibration, cross-validation, and prediction across three instruments demonstrate the reliability of process Raman to accurately predict the concentrations of these excipients, as well as easy model transferability.</p><h4><strong>Conclusion</strong></h4><p>This work, combined with our previous demonstrations of accurate in-line protein quantification during UF/DF processes,⁷, ⁸ clearly highlights the value of process Raman for downstream process monitoring. Raman spectroscopy allows for the simultaneous measurement of multiple critical process parameters (CPPs) with a single scan. These findings establish process Raman as a PAT tool with unparalleled benefits compared to other analytical methods.&nbsp;</p><p>Simultaneous measurement of protein and excipient concentrations not only allows tighter process control but also opens opportunities for automating downstream processing.&nbsp;</p><p>The ability of process Raman to provide real-time insights into buffer quality before its use in UF/DF runs offers substantial value by preventing batch failures. This capability enhances quality control, making Raman spectroscopy an essential tool for integration as an in-line sensor to improve downstream process monitoring, control, and automation.</p>

<p><strong>Observation is fundamental to not only understanding the world around us, but also to engineering a brighter future. For centuries, optical methods enhanced our vision, giving birth to countless discoveries in both biological and material science. These advancements enabled an exponential evolution in technology. As the length scale of science reduced and the need for quantitative precision increased, new technologies were developed to further enhance our vision. But even today, these classic techniques suffer from a fundamental limitation, bound to the surface, lacking the ability to see what lies beneath.</strong></p><p>Over the last decades a quiet revolution has been building. X-rays, a form of high energy light, have a special relationship with matter. With ideal wavelength they can both penetrate and be harmlessly absorbed and scattered, leading to ideal contrast. Advances in sources, motion control, detection and computing power have resulted in a new class of microscopes capable of non-destructive volumetric imaging with exceptional field-of-view, resolution and speed, all in a form factor to fit any lab.</p><p>As a leader in X-ray Microscope technology, Bruker is excited to invite you to the launch of our newest modular, effective and accessible non-destructive 3D imaging solution.

<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>The biopharmaceutical industry is increasingly focused on developing higher drug concentration formulations to improve efficiency, reduce production costs, and meet the growing demands for more potent biologics. As the industry shifts toward more concentrated biologics, there is an urgent need for more efficient and reliable analytical tools to measure concentrations at all stages of production, from process development to manufacturing and release testing.</strong></span></p><p>Traditional UV/Vis spectroscopy methods, which rely on fixed pathlengths, face significant challenges when dealing with highly concentrated or limited volume samples, often requiring time-consuming dilution steps. With the growing demand for faster, more accurate results in these increasingly complex workflows, the ability to measure high concentrations quickly and accurately has become a critical need.</p><p>In this webinar, we will introduce the new CTech™ SoloVPE® PLUS, which utilizes variable pathlength technology (VPT) to enable dilution-free, real-time concentration measurements across a wide range of analytes. We will discuss how this emerging technology addresses the industry's evolving needs for more accurate, faster testing to support the development and release of mRNA-based therapeutics, monoclonal antibodies, and other biologic products. You’ll also learn how VPT can accelerate decision-making, improve productivity, and enhance efficiency in process development, manufacturing, and release testing workflows.</p><p><strong>Key learning objectives:</strong></p><ul><li>Understand the challenges posed by traditional UV/Vis spectroscopy methods for highly concentrated or limited volume samples.</li><li>Learn how variable pathlength technology enables dilution-free, real-time concentration measurement for complex biologics workflows.</li><li>Gain insight into how emerging technologies are addressing the industry's evolving demands for higher concentration formulations and faster testing</li></ul><p><strong>Who should attend:</strong></p><ul><li>This webinar is ideal for professionals working in biopharmaceutical workflows, including:</li><li>Process Development Scientists</li><li>Analytical Development Scientists</li><li>Quality Control and Quality Assurance Scientists</li><li>Manufacturing Science and Technology (MSAT) Scientists</li></ul><div><blockquote><p><strong>Presenter: </strong>Joe Ferraiolo (Director, Bioanalytics Applications, Repligen)</p><p><strong>Presenter: </strong>Kelly McSweeney (Contributing Editor, C&amp;EN Media Group)</p></blockquote><p>&nbsp;</p></div>

In Swansea University Medical School, we have used Atomic Force Microscopy, together with the 3D spheroid cellular model, to unravel the role of multicellular aggregates in ovarian cancer drug resistance and metastasis within the peritoneal cavity. Furthermore, we have used the latest advancement of SmartMapping to achieve force maps of entire ovarian cancer spheroids surfaces (&gt;150µm), revealing their heterogenous nature.&nbsp;</p></div><blockquote><p><strong>Presenter: </strong>Dr. Lydia Powell (Microbiology and Infectious Disease Group, Swansea University Medical School, Wales)</p><p>Dr. Lydia C Powell is a lecturer within Swansea University Medical School. Lydia’s research, operating at the interface between engineering and biomedical sciences, has been pivotal in understanding the biophysical and mechanical properties of complex 3D multicellular aggregates, such as bacterial biofilm structures and ovarian cancer spheroids. Lydia has translated this understanding into the design and delivery of new therapies for cystic fibrosis and chronic wound biofilm-related infections, where this research has informed the patenting and progression of novel anti-biofilm therapeutics into clinical trials (AlgiPharma AS and Qbiotics).&nbsp;</p></blockquote>
