Ion Chromatography for Pharmaceutical Applications

Ion Chromatography (IC) is an established and useful analytical tool for pharmaceutical applications. Many times, IC is faster, easier to implement, and offers significant advantages over traditional wet chemistry methods. In fact, the United States Pharmacopeia has modernized a substantial number of monographs to stipulate IC methods for numerous pharmaceutical assays of APIs and analysis of impurities and excipients.

In this webinar, you will hear about recently validated IC methods for various assays and their associated impurities and challenges associated with some magnesium-based OTC products.

We will also review the basics of IC and various sample preparation techniques to overcome difficult sample matrices. A live Q&A session will be hosted at the end of the webinar to address any questions you may have. Key learning points of this webinar:

• Understand newly validated IC methods for pharmaceutical applications.
• Learn how ion chromatography can be used for fast and reliable salt identification, assay, and impurities.
• Learn what strategies are available for automation of sample preparation to deal with difficult sample matrices.
