Thibault Brulé, Raman Application Scientist, HORIBA Scientific

The development of a new drug product is a long road in the pharmaceutical industry. Understanding active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and compound spatial distributions, investigating final product homogeneity, and differentiating chemically similar molecules such as polymorphs are constant challenges when working to guarantee product quality and process efficiency.

To improve this process, it’s instrumental that engineers and researchers have access to the best possible instrumentation. Enter Raman imaging microscopy.

In this webinar, Thibault Brulé, application scientist at HORIBA Scientific, will outline how Raman microscopy can help the pharmaceutical industry throughout the development and production process, from drug discovery to product formulation and passing post-marketed investigation.

Key learning objectives:

Through various applications examples, you will learn how Raman microscopy is a key technique for accelerating pharmaceutical studies.

Raman SpectroscopyRaman spectroscopy is used to discern the vibrational and rotational states of molecules and hence the chemical composition of a sample by measuring the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light. Explore a range of Raman spectrometers, including handheld/portable Raman spectrometers for QC/QA labs and in situ spectrometers for processes. Conduct Raman imaging for microanalysis of mixed samples using a Raman microscope. Raman spectrographs are also available. Find the best Raman spectroscopy products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Quality ControlQuality control is needed in all production processes. Quality control is a monitoring procedure or set of procedures that are put in place to ensure that a manufactured product adheres to a defined set of quality criteria. Active PharmaceuticalsThe Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) of a drug is the component that causes the direct effect of the product. The remaining inactive components are known as excipients.MicroscopyMicroscopy is a technique used to observe small objects in detail, from cells to materials, using light or electron microscopes. It enables researchers to examine structures with high resolution, aiding in fields such as biology, medicine, and materials science. With advanced microscopy techniques, scientists can gain insights into cellular processes, tissue structures, and material properties.
