Enhancing Pharma Processes #3. Formulation Development

Streamline Your Pharmaceutical Formulation Chemistry Process with EDXRF Analysis

Presenter: Scott Fess 

Would you like to be more efficient in your process chemistry? Developing safe and effective pharmaceutical formulations is a complex process. You need reliable analytical tools that can help you identify and quantify elemental composition, monitor catalysts, and screen for unwanted toxic heavy metals. Energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) is a powerful technique that offers rapid, non-destructive analysis for a wide range of materials.

In this episode, we will explore how EDXRF can be a valuable asset in your pharmaceutical formulation development workflow. Our expert will discuss how this technology can help you.

What you will learn:

• Technique: Elemental analysis by EDXRF
• Relevant lifecycle stage: Formulation development
• Benefits:
• Optimize yield: Obtain fast and accurate elemental analysis of raw materials, intermediates, and finished products. 
• Monitor catalyst residues: Measure residual palladium and other catalysts used in pharmaceutical production. 
• Ensure product safety: Detect trace levels of heavy metals like cadmium, lead, mercury, and bromine in your formulation powders. 
• Meet regulatory requirements: Learn how EDXRF can support your compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 if needed. 

Our expert will walk you through the principles of EDXRF and showcase the capabilities of our advanced analyzers. We will demonstrate how these instruments provide the sensitivity and precision needed for effective elemental analysis in pharmaceutical process chemistry.

Who should attend:

• Pharmaceutical scientists and researchers involved in formulation development
• Quality control and quality assurance professionals in the pharmaceutical industry
• Those interested in learning about the applications of EDXRF in pharmaceutical analysis
