Description

This course is designed to provide practical information for the development and implementation of quantitative methods of analysis using spectroscopy. The fundamentals, advantages and disadvantages of Mid Infrared, Near Infrared, Ultraviolet, Visible, and Fluorescence are discussed. The course includes a review of basic statistics, sampling considerations, and designing the calibration standard set. Additionally, the course provides practical considerations for defining the problem, designing methods, and validation to ensure compliance with USP guidelines. Various quantitative methods will be discussed that can be used in research and development, product/process optimization, quality assurance, clinical studies, process monitoring and control. Break-out session are included to reinforce learning of key principals and provides learners with opportunity to ask questions and have group discussions. Atomic Spectroscopy and gas phase spectroscopic analysis will not be discussed.
