I W P C P S® 9
Ninth International Workshop on Physical Characterization of Pharmaceutical Solids

The IWPCPS®-9 will be held June 24-29, 2007 in the USA

Location:  Crowne Plaza Boston- Natick, MA, USA
www.bos-natick.crowneplaza.com

Preliminary Topics

New Topics such as:

  • Bioavailability of Forms
  • Generation of Forms
  • Characterization of Forms
  • Developability of Drugs
  • Characterization and Quality Control of Drug Product
  • Dissolution of Forms and Drug Product

General Topics such as:

  • Polymorphs and Solvates
  • Special XRD Applications
  • Modern Thermal Analysis Applications
  • Solid State NMR Applications
  • Amorphous Content _ Determination And Characterization
  • Particle Size Analysis And Processing Effects
  • Morphology And Surface Characterization
  • Drug Product Characterization
  • Regulatory Patent Issues
Purpose

The International Workshops on Physical Characterization of Pharmaceutical Solids has a five year history now.

It was held in 2000, 2001in Lancaster PA, USA
In 2003 in Oxford, UK,
In 2004 in Stamford, USA
In 2004 in Ettlingen, Germany
In 2005 in Kona, Hawaii, USA
In 2006 in Rhodes, Greece.

The workshop will allow you to learn in a relaxed environment about in-depth understanding of state-of-the-art physical characterization of pharmaceutical solids.

The program is intended to benefit scientists and researchers in the areas of drug discovery, preformulation, formulation, stability testing, product development, product quality control, and analytical services.

Workshop participants will be exposed to several analytical approaches of characterizing a solid. They will learn how these approaches can complement each other and may be utilized individually or in concert in the solution of real problems in pharmaceutical development and solid-state chemistry.

Objectives

The workshop will combine information about modern laboratory techniques to solve pharmaceutical problems and teaching about solid state characterization of pharmaceuticals. It will offer fundamental approaches as well as up-to-date technical information and future outlooks.

Who should attend?

The workshop is designed for scientists, formulators and regulatory personnel from the following areas:
Pharmaceutical Research and Development

  • Ethical and Generic Pharmaceutical Production
  • Excipient/Chemicals Production
  • Veterinary Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
  • Food Processing
  • Compounding Pharmacists
  • Regulatory Agencies
  • Academia
  • Analytical Equipment Manufacturers
  • Analytical Laboratories
Location and Time
June 24-29, 2007

Location:  Crowne Plaza Boston- Natick, MA, USA

Short Courses

 


We are offering short courses on:

    No Timing Available Yet

  1. Raman imaging: what's science and what's art

    Speaker:
    Eunah Lee, Ph.D.

    Applications Scientist:
    HORIBA Jobin Yvon

  • Preliminary Program:

    First, a brief background on Raman theory and instrumentations development will be provided.  We will review Raman imaging technology especially what differentiates it from traditional Raman spectroscopy or Raman microscopy. The emphases will be on instrumentation requirements, data processing and interpretation.

    We will provide then guidelines to determine what kind of samples would benefit from Raman imaging, and an efficient way to setup a Raman map measurement.  A few examples will demonstrate the impacts of different data processing paths and steps, and correlation between spectral quality and image confidence.  The importance of raw data verification, and independent data processing validations will be stressed.

    Finally, the latest development in nano-scale spatial resolution in nano Raman will be reviewed.
