Agilent Technologies: Transitioning from the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/icpms/library?mainauthorItems=10&amp;search=Cary+630">Agilent Cary 630 FTIR</a> to the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/icpms/library?mainauthorItems=10&amp;search=Cary+635">Agilent Cary 635 FTIR Spectrometer</a></h3>Demonstrating methodology equivalence for pharmaceutical applications<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">Full PDF for download</a>&nbsp;</li></ul>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;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;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;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.<h4>Instrumentation and software&nbsp;</h4>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.<h4>Conclusion&nbsp;</h4>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.<h3>2. Metrohm: Coconut water analysis by NIRS</h3>Determination of Brix, salinity, conductivity, and pH with one instrument<ul><li>Application note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/pdf/an_nir_145_download_05589da42d.pdf">Full PDF for download</a></li></ul>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;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.<h4>EXPERIMENTAL EQUIPMENT&nbsp;</h4>An <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/en-us/icpms/library?mainauthorItems=220&amp;search=OMNIS+NIR">OMNIS NIR Analyzer </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.<h4>CONCLUSION</h4>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.<h3>3. Shimadzu / AOAC: Analysis of Heavy Metals in Baby Food Using ICP-MS</h3><ul><li>Poster</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://labrulez.com/pdf/aoac_2026_46_d9c14b32e0.pdf">Full PDF for download</a></li></ul>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">ICPMS-2040/2050</a> and evaluated spike recovery and long-term stability.<h4>Conclusion&nbsp;</h4>Elemental analysis of baby food was conducted using ICP-MS.&nbsp;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.<h3>4. Thermo Fisher Scientific: Process Raman as a comprehensive solution for downstream buffer workflow</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">Full PDF for download</a></li></ul>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;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.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">Thermo Scientific™ MarqMetrix™ All-In-One Process Raman Analyzer</a> (Figure 1). In addition, this study also illustrates a case where process Raman was able to provide real-time information on buffer quality.<h4>Results&nbsp;</h4>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.<h4>Conclusion</h4>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;Simultaneous measurement of protein and excipient concentrations not only allows tighter process control but also opens opportunities for automating downstream processing.&nbsp;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.

Nanoparticle and Single Cell Elemental Analysis by ICP-MS has become popular in recent years due technological advancements in ICP-MS, as well as increasing needs for applications in various technical areas. On the other hand, microplastics have been the topics of discussions and research as its increasingly important role in environmental applications. Various analytical techniques have their own limitations, such as the ability of particle characterization, particles sizes, and methods of sample introduction.
In the current study, an automated, micro-flow autosampler in combination with a triple quadrupole Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-QQQ) is used in the elemental analysis of yeast cells and microplastics.
The sample introduction system is designed to deliver intact single cells and microplastics to the plasma, while the ICP-QQQ offers unmatched high sensitivity for elemental determination within the cells and microplastics. Preliminary laboratory experiments in single cell study showed the potential of applying the sample introduction setup to other single cell applications, while the preliminary results from microplastics study showed ICP-QQQ can be good complimentary technique to other analytical techniques for microplastics (such as LDIR). Microplastics with sizes down to 1 micron in aqueous solution were detected and analyzed by ICP-QQQ.

Certain cancers may exhibit treatment resistance to modern therapies including checkpoint inhibitors. In many cases, aspects of the tumor microenvironment can influence how aggressive a tumor is and/or correlate with underlying treatment resistance. Several tumor microenvironment biomarkers have been correlated with cancer aggression and patient outcomes, including tumor pH, hypoxia, and angiogenesis.
Here, we will review in vivo (e.g. PET/MR) and cellular and molecular (e.g. MRI/NMR spectroscopy) preclinical studies that provide new insights of varied tumor profiles/types and the underlying interplay in PD-L1 status, hypoxia, and fibroblasts in the tumor microenvironment. Such insights pave the way for improved therapies. 
This topic will be relevant to researchers involved in PET tracer development, cancer biology and therapeutics, and specifically nuclear imaging specialists.

For multiparameter analysis, what instruments can a pH meter be connected to?
Beyond parameters like conductivity, DO, ISE, and Redox, which can be measured by the same meter, a pH meter can be connected to other instruments like a refractometer, density meter, UV/VIS spectrometer, titrator, and balance.
In which industries can quality control labs leverage multiparameter analysis to improve their processes?
Multiparameter analysis empowers quality control labs across various industries. In the pharmaceutical sector, labs can ensure consistent drug quality by simultaneously measuring parameters like pH, conductivity, and concentration. The food and beverage industry, including the wine industry, benefits by monitoring key parameters like pH, conductivity, density, and dissolved oxygen to guarantee consistent taste, texture, and shelf life. It also plays a crucial role in monitoring safe drinking water (concentration of ions, pH, conductivity) and optimizing agricultural soil conditions (pH, conductivity, nutrient levels). By measuring multiple parameters simultaneously, labs achieve efficiency and ensure high-quality products across diverse industries.

We warmly invite you to join us and our special guest speaker Dr. Maxim Molodtsov from The Francis Crick Institute, UK, for this webinar on Studying the Mechanics of DNA Rearrangements with Optical Tweezers.
The Nobel Prize winning Optical Tweezers (OT) technique enables the non-invasive, nanometer-precise manipulation of individual cells, molecules and nanoparticles, and the simultaneous application and quantification of the piconewton forces acting on them. OT can be used to study the smallest biological entities, from sub-cellular structures to DNA and proteins, providing unprecedented insights into life’s fundamental building blocks.
Bruker’s force-sensing optical tweezers systems can be seamlessly combined with advanced optical techniques, e.g. confocal, STED, TIRF, and DIC, enabling a host of novel research possibilities.
In his talk, Dr. Maxim Molodtsov will speak about his work investigating the forces involved in the molecular mechanisms underlying the three-dimensional organization and physical rearrangements of DNA during the cell cycle, crucial factors in gene regulation, repair, recombination, and cell division.
Don’t miss the demonstration on the NanoTracker 2 Optical Tweezers, live from our labs in Berlin, where we will perform a DNA stretching experiment and measure the forces involved in the folding and unfolding of DNA.
Abstract
The three-dimensional organization and physical rearrangements of DNA are essential for correct gene regulation, repair, recombination, and cell division. The molecular mechanisms underlying the mechanics of these processes, however, remain poorly understood. My group uses a combination of single-molecule microscopy, force-spectroscopy, and computational modelling to investigate how individual molecules integrate their mechanical forces to rearrange DNA. In this talk, I will discuss our work on determining how conformational changes in the SMC protein complex cohesin, which is involved in the organization of DNA in interphase, generates mechanical forces, and how individual cohesins holding sister chromatids in mitosis resist the mechanical forces of the mitotic spindle.
