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.

In semiconductor fabrication, it is imperative to be able to control impurities in specialty gases, as otherwise they will lead to unwanted formation of deposits on the wafer surface, adversely affecting device performance and yield, and carbon monoxide (CO) is no exception. The industry’s traditional method to test for metallic impurities in specialty gases is the impinger one, which has some limitations with the impurities exchange to the liquid media and requires extended sample prep time.
In this webinar, you will learn about an alternative sample prep method using a gas exchange device. In the application discussed, we collaborated with BASS Inc of Korea, to show how their gas direct injection (known as GDI), is a technique that enables the direct analysis of a sample gas without the need to utilize an impinger. Coupling the GDI to the NexION® 2200 ICP-MS, you will discover its benefits over the traditional impinger method in metal-impurity analysis of CO. These include lower detection limits and background equivalent concentrations as well as a significant reduction in analysis time.
Key Learnings:

<li>Introduction to BASS Inc. GDI (Gas Direct Injection) system.</li>
<li>Advantage of GDI-ICP-MS technique</li>
<li>Analysis of special gas for semiconductor application with NexIon ICP-MS series</li>

What to expect?
Elemental analysis with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS or EDX) in Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) can be challenging when dealing with complex and difficult samples. These samples include beam-sensitive materials, life science and biological thin sections, semiconductor devices, battery materials, FIB/TEM lamellae, nanoparticles, and samples with topographic features or heavy surface charge accumulation (i.e. glass and ceramics). For such materials, large area EDS detectors (&gt;100 mm2) are preferred, however their inclined detector geometry and small collection angle can hinder efficient signal collection. This results in noisy EDS maps with poor spectral data quality.
In this webinar, you will learn how the XFlash® FlatQUAD detector can transform your SEM EDS elemental analysis from slow, difficult, and sometimes impossible - to an easy routine analysis. Maximum signal collection is ensured by the detector’s annular four segment SDD design, detector placement under pole-piece, and the high take-off angle. XFlash® FlatQUAD enables unmatched sensitivity, even at low (&lt;3 kV) or high (&gt;15 kV) voltages and ultra-low probe currents (&lt;50 pA). These beam conditions are necessary for “difficult” samples&quot; and are impossible to achieve using conventional single or even multiple large-area EDS detectors with an inclined geometry.
Join us for an informative 30-minute session, where Bruker Nano Analytic’s experts will discuss the capabilities of qualitative and quantitative EDS using the cutting-edge XFlash® FlatQUAD. Discover how this groundbreaking detector can effortlessly handle even the most challenging samples at unparalleled speed (10x – 50x faster) while maintaining unmatched sensitivity, making it is the preferred choice of SEM EDS analysts.
What you will learn?
<ul>
<li>Why chemical maps with EDS/EDX in SEM and FIB-SEM are often noisy with no useful data.
</li>
<li>The limitations of conventional large-area EDS detectors for elemental analysis of “difficult” samples in SEM.
</li>
<li>How to overcome common challenges such as surface charge accumulation, shadowing, low signal counts, low X-ray yield, high noise levels, and long measurement times.
</li>
<li>Techniques for the elemental mapping of uncoated samples without using low pressure/low vacuum conditions.
</li>
<li>Practical applications in various fields including life sciences, semiconductors, materials science, geology, and battery research.

UV-Vis spectroscopy is a well-established technique in many laboratories. For decades, laboratories have adapted to pain points associated with UV-Vis workflows such as daily instrument warm-up, yearly lamp replacement, and slow and cumbersome temperature control systems.
Dr. Mathieu Rault, Cary 3500 Product Manager for Agilent Technologies, will present the Agilent Cary 3500 UV-Vis spectrophotometer series, developed from the ground-up to address these pain points and go beyond traditional user experiences. The Cary 3500 UV-Vis solution is a modular system that offers laboratories several benefits such as scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency, as well as high analytical performances when measuring liquid and solid samples.
Each module has been designed and optimized depending on the sample type and analytical objectives. The modular design and software remove the burden of performing optical alignment procedures and the time and effort to recalibrate the instrument each time a module is changed. Swapping modules is quick, simple, and easy, allowing users to address specific application needs with tailored UV-Vis solutions.
Dr. Rault will also highlight UV-Vis applications for liquid and solid samples to illustrate the benefits of the instrument’s modular design.

<h4>What to expect?</h4>
X-ray fluorescence is a noninvasive technique that allows for the elemental analysis of culturally important objects by acquiring robust and reproducible data within only a few minutes. Handheld XRF instruments are increasingly becoming indispensable tools for the elemental analysis of various types of art objects, whether those that are made of ceramic or bronze or those that involve paintings.
The third webinar builds on the foundations laid in the first two cultural heritage webinars (<a href="https://www.bruker.com/en/news-and-events/webinars/2022/handheld-portable-xrf-cultural-heritage-I-back-to-basics.html">https://www.bruker.com/en/news-and-events/webinars/2022/handheld-portable-xrf-cultural-heritage-I-back-to-basics.html</a>). In this webinar we will go deeper in the topic by providing insight into the following concerns that any researcher or conservator dealing with the quantitative characterization of art objects will inevitably encounter: (a) How does intensity relate to concentration in a calibration? (b) Accuracy and precision, (c) Sample preparation and presentation, (d) How can I make a calibration fit my purpose? Using practical examples from the field, we will highlight the advantages and pitfalls of quantitative analysis in the field of cultural heritage and art conservation.
Who should attend?
<ul>
<li>Researchers, professionals, and students in cultural heritage conducting XRF analysis.</li>
<li>Archeologists or art scientists working in situ in cultural heritage sites.</li>
<li>Those interested in broadening their understanding of portable XRF analysis of artifacts in general.</li>
</ul>

Handheld and Portable XRF - Quantitative Data

ZONTAL and Mestrelab by SciY are leaders in their respective areas of data digitalisation and complex analytical data processing.In this talk we explore how the two products can be seamlessly integrated to add convenience and value. Specifically, we look at how ZONTAL can harness the power of Mnova automated structure verification on data ingestion, and also how end users can use the familiar Mnova desktop application to directly search, access and save to the ZONTAL platform via Mnova Hub.These integrations enhance both products and enable them to be used with even greater efficiency when dealing with complex analytical data like NMR or LCMS.<blockquote>Presenter: Dr. Christof Gaenzler (Director PreSales and Product Marketing - Zontal)Dr. Gaenzler holds a Doctorate in Molecular Biology from the University of Heidelberg and contributed to the development of the first HPV vaccines during his time at the German Cancer Center in Heidelberg. During his career outside of academia Dr. Gaenzler served as Senior Consultant and PreSales Manager at TIBCO Spotfire, and as the Senior Principal Product Marketing Manager for Biology at PerkinElmer Informatics. Currently, Dr. Gaenzler brings his expertise to ZONTAL as the Director of PreSales and Product Marketing.Presenter: Gary Sharman, PhD (Senior Scientific Director)Gary studied Natural sciences at the University of Cambridge before completing a PhD with prof Dudley Williams on structural and mechanistic studies by NMR and MS. He spent 20 years in the pharmaceutical industry, working in analytical chemistry at AstraZeneca and Eli Lilly, where he developed a particular interest in data flows and visualisations. He moved to Mestrelab in 2020, where his role centres around automation, data processing and customisation.</blockquote>
