Pharmaceutical Use of Near Infrared Spectroscopy

 
  February 11, 2008  
     
 
The Center for Professional Advancement, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
7-9 May 2008


Who Should Attend
The course is intended for NIR professionals who have a direct or even casual interest in the field including:

  • Analysts
  • Chemists
  • Spectroscopists
  • Process Engineers
Since it is designed to be practical and down-to-earth, the program is aimed to provide a full understanding of NIR and its applications to the pharmaceutical industry including identity check of incoming raw materials.

Description
This course is designed to provide an overview of modern near infrared spectroscopy for those who are inexperienced in the field. In addition, it should reinforce the lessons learned in instrument manufacturers’ training courses or from instruction manuals from specified manufacturers, and will add new perspectives and practical information for the more experienced user. This course will include fundamental information on the optical, spectroscopic, and mathematical principles on which this technique is based. Examples of some of the many applications of NIR to a variety of pharmaceutical problems will be used to describe the technique’s utility. Updates on current instrument and data treatment technologies will be included.

Participants are encouraged to bring along one or more problems for discussion.
