Introduction Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is an important technique for materials checking at various stages of the manufacturing process, but is particularly useful at the raw materials inspection stage. Raw materials come in a variety of physical …
APPLICATION NOTE
Introduction The exact number of counterfeit medicines produced/consumed each year is difficult to determine due to the usually illegitimate methods by which they are distributed. However, the scale of the problem can be represented by the fact that 20 …
APPLICATION NOTE
Introduction Herbal lifestyle products are widely used as alternatives to medicines around the world, with as many as 80% of people using them as a primary source of healthcare in developing countries. These treatments are commonly regarded by …
APPLICATION NOTE
Introduction Since early 2018, manufacturers of pharmaceutical products are mandated to comply with USP <232/<233> requirements around the analysis of elemental impurities in medications. This work demonstrates the ability of PerkinElmer’s Avio® 220 Max …
APPLICATION NOTE
Introduction With the implementation of USP <232>/<233> for the analysis of elemental impurities in finished drug products, it is important for manufacturers to monitor the metal content of the final products to be in compliance. This work demonstrates …
APPLICATION NOTE
Introduction Milk and milk powder are used widely in the food industry for the production of other foods. Because of its nutritional importance and widespread consumption, regulations in many countries necessitate that the quality of the milk is …
APPLICATION NOTE
Introduction This work demonstrates a robust method using SP-ICP-MS technology to detect CeO2 NPs which were extracted from soil samples with tetrasodium pyrophosphate (TSPP). Over the past few decades, engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) have been …
APPLICATION NOTE
Introduction In the textile industry, the use of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) is increasing due to their ability to provide UV protection, increase the hydrophilic nature of fabrics, provide antibacterial characteristics, and reduce …
APPLICATION NOTE
Introduction Boron (B) is studied for its isotope ratio composition in a range of paleoproxy, geochemical, nuclear, medical, and archeological applications. ICP-MS is recognized as a powerful technique for boron isotope analysis. Quadrupole ICP-MS is …
E-BOOK
Introduction The cost of a disaster event can be devastating for a laboratory organization. A prolonged interruption in production creates significant delays in delivering products to patients, and can lead to drug shortages. The subsequent financial …
