B&W Tek November Newsletter

Advances in Raman throughout the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Process 

The importance of quality control in continuous manufacturing has lead to a rapid increase in the use of Raman spectroscopy. In our latest webinar we explore how Raman spectroscopy is paving the way for innovation in advanced manufacturing techniques, with a presentation by Dr. Douglas Hausner of Associate Director of Rutgers University’s  Engineering Research Center for Structured Organic Particulate Systems (C-SOPS).

New E-Book on the Tools, Techniques and Applications of Raman Spectroscopy

Portable and handheld Raman systems are gradually replacing slow and destructive techniques that have been widely used throughout the pharmaceutical industry. This month, B&W Tek partnered with American Pharmaceutical Review to release a new E-Book highlighting these recent developments in the industry. The E-book features various tools, techniques and applications that use Raman Spectroscopy to perform tasks such as at-line content uniformity, counterfeit detection and raw material identification.

Meet the Team!

Meet Kevin Wu: a seasoned foodie, full time cat dad and the new inside sales administrator at B&W Tek! Kevin is a Delaware native who graduated from Drexel University with a degree in criminal justice. He now uses his 7 years of experience in aviation quality control to give clerical assistance to our account managers and handle logistics for our sales team. It would be an understatement to say that we are excited to have Kevin join the B&W Tek family!

CoreAFM system well received by customers around the globe

Nanosurf’s new research AFM system, the CoreAFM, is going into operation at customer sites around the globe. The first researchers to use the highly versatile CoreAFM are based in the USA and Germany. Deliveries are also being made to Argentina, Ecuador, and China.

These customers appreciate the compact design and attractive pricing. The powerful benchtop system with a multitude of modes allows them to perform all kinds of measurements, facilitated by interchangeable accessories and mode kits.

Powerful and versatile
Next to standard imaging, you can perform MFM, EFM, PFM, KPFM, C-AFM, EC-AFM, Bio-AFM, SThM, lithography and advanced spectroscopy including stiffness maps, as well as FluidFM™ based experiments.

 

Thanks to the integrated active vibration isolation table, your images will be clean and clear – further enhanced by the innovative Spike-Guard system that automatically catches environmental perturbations, and rescans the affected line.

Food Rheology Webinar – Before you press ‘start’

 

Food Rheology – What to do before you press ‘start’

Mouthfeel… Spreadability… Appearance… Stability for shelf-life… Testing the structure of a food is essential to ensure the final product appeals to consumers. The results need to be reliable and food samples are sensitive.

Key rheological results can be thrown off by some easy slip-ups in sample handling or the test method itself. This live webinar reviews the critical steps before pressing ‘start’ on your rheometer:

  • Sample handling
  • Sample loading
  • Sufficient recovery
  • Design of test method

Presenter:
Dr. Klaus Oldoerp, Sr. Applications Specialist,
Material Characterization, Thermo Fisher Scientific

Gain confidence in your sampling skills, test method, and rheological results from R&D to QC. Register now ›
