On November 20th, Antonio Scatena, Laborator Manager and Cara Plese, Scientist at Gateway Analytical hosted a webinar designed for scientists working in the pharmaceutical industry. During this webinar, they discussed the advantages of using Raman analysis in conjunction with other analytical techniques, such as microscopy, SEM/EDS and FTIR in investigations to identify unknown materials. They discussed the sample types that are best suited for Raman analysis and tips on how to discover the best parameters to use for you investigation. They also discussed how Raman Analysis can be used to analyze inorganic materials, such as metal oxides, pigments and minerals which would typically not yield results with FTIR analysis.

On April 2nd, Dave Exline, Senior V.P. and Antonio Scatena, Laboratory Manager at Gateway Analytical hosted a webinar designed for manufacturing managers, quality control managers and analytical lab personnel. During this webinar, our presenters discussed the various areas of an industrial forensic investigation, including contamination testing to control contamination of raw materials, processes and products; different types of quality control systems; and took the audience into the lab to discuss how to prepare samples for testing using various analytical techniques including microscopy, SEM/EDS, FTIR and Raman. They also discussed how to interpret the data collected and what type of conclusions can be made from your findings. Finally, our presenters provided example case scenarios to demonstrate the methodology of industrial forensic analysis.
