Preparing for the proposed United States Pharmacopeia Chapters on trace elemental impurities in pharmaceuticals with ICP techniques

Webinar from Thermo Scientific

The United States Pharmacopeia is proposing two new General Chapters on levels of trace elements in pharmaceutical products with the aim of:

• Updating the methodology used to test for elemental impurities in drugs and dietary supplements to include procedures that rely on modern analytical technology; and
• Setting limits for acceptable levels of metal impurities (including, but not limited to, lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium) in drugs and dietary supplements.

This webinar is essential for those who need to stay up-to-date with elemental analysis techniques and in particular ICP and ICP-MS methodologies in order to meet the latest requirements in pharmaceutical analysis.
