Agilent ICP-OES instruments are packed with smart functions that deliver reliable analytical results and slash wasted time in the lab. Analysts will know exactly when to do cleaning and maintenance of their ICP-OES or ICP-AES, thanks to sensors built into the ICP instrument. Lab managers will know results from their ICP-OES instruments are accurate thanks to algorithms that find interferences and provide backup results.
Agilent’s AA range is productive, user-friendly, and exceptionally reliable. The instruments deliver the high performance that analysts require, while being equally at home in routine laboratories where reliability and simple operation are vital.
In this webinar we take a look at maximizing productivity and speed fo Sequential ICP-OES with the use of Agilent’s AA Systems.

We will also have our experts available to chat live on the day, allowing you to further increase your knowledge and skills on this topical issue.
The Agilent TRS100 Raman system is ideal for fast assay of tablets, capsules, and other dosage forms. Transmission Raman technology from Agilent enables simple method-development and deployment in QC applications. It is easy to implement in analytical laboratories and production areas, and has regulatory approvals for content uniformity (CU), assay, and identification (ID) applications. This online seminar provides a comprehensive introduction to the Transmission Raman technology and the Agilent TRS100 Raman system in the pharmaceutical quality-control applications.

Individuals vary widely in their drug responses, which can be dangerous and expensive due to significant treatment delays and adverse effects. Growing evidence implicates the gut microbiome in this variability, however the molecular mechanisms remain mostly unknown.
To systematically map the drug metabolizing capacity of the gut microbiota and assess its potential contribution to drug metabolism, the speaker measured the ability of 76 diverse human gut bacteria to metabolize each of 271 oral drugs. They found that two-thirds of these drugs are chemically modified by at least one of the tested microbes.
Through combination of high-throughput bacterial genetics with mass spectrometry-based metabolomics, the speaker systematically identified drug-metabolizing microbial enzymes. These proteins better explain the drug metabolizing capacity of bacterial strains than their phylogenetic classification.
The speaker further demonstrated that the abundance of homologs of these proteins predict the capacity of complete human gut communities to metabolize the targeted drugs. These causal links between microbiota gene content and metabolic activities connect inter-individual microbiome variability to interpersonal differences in drug metabolism, which has translatable potential on medical therapy and drug development across multiple disease indications.
Alcohol quantification is a common FTIR measurement. Measuring calibration standards and creating a method for routine analysis takes little expertise and approximately 15 minutes with Agilent instrumentation. Measuring samples and generating accurate color-coded pass/fail results takes less than a minute per sample and can be done in the lab or at site.
Contamination in our waterways, soil, air, and drinking water from microplastics is gaining significant public interest due largely to its emergence as an environmental threat. Researchers are now working towards standardized analytical solutions to best characterize these small particles in terms of chemical identity, size, shape, and total mass.
Organizations such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration define a microplastic as any particle of a plastic polymer that is less than 5 mm in size. However, it is smaller microplastic particles, less than 100 μm in size, that are often of the most interest. They are not visible to the naked eye and can make their way into the food chain.
In the world of Forensic Analysis, purity is an important calculation. Using UV-Vis as a rapid screening technique for methamphetamine allows labs to optimize their time which is critical due to increase caseloads. The Cary 60 and 18-cell changer or fiber optic probe is ideal for this application. This presentation will look at the mechanics behind using the Cary 60 to determine the purity of a methamphetamine sample.

Laboratories are frequently asked to perform non-routine analysis and sometimes this involves changing over from aqueous sample analysis to analysis of an organic solvent. Even to the experienced operator, running an organic solvent can be a daunting task. We will discuss all facets of the problem including sample and standard preparation, sample introduction options, and instrument conditions.
