Submicron IR for pharmaceutical research, development, and quality

The pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries increasingly require rapid, accurate, and high-resolution analytical tools to characterize complex materials, ensure product quality, and accelerate innovation. Optical Photothermal Infrared Spectroscopy (O-PTIR) is a breakthrough technology that combines the chemical specificity of infrared spectroscopy with submicron spatial resolution, overcoming many limitations of conventional IR microscopy. He will introduce Optical Photothermal Infrared Spectroscopy (O-PTIR), an innovative technique that provides detailed chemical information while overcoming many limitations of conventional IR methods. Guest speaker:Dr. Kevin Dahl is the Director of Pharmaceutical Products and Applications has more than 20 years of experience in pharmaceutical product development and investigations. Drawing on real-world case studies, he will discuss how O-PTIR technology is being used across development, manufacturing, and quality assurance to address analytical challenges and enhance product understanding.
