Join a free online event to see how scientists use special tools like UV-Vis spectroscopy and gas chromatography to check the quality of medicines. These tools help ensure that active ingredients (the parts of medicine<\/a> that make it work) stay safe and effective over time. In 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) published guidelines on how to study the stability of these active ingredients. These guidelines were updated in 2018 after new discoveries in the industry. Stability studies are important because they show how medicines change when exposed to factors like heat, moisture, or light. This testing helps scientists determine how long a medicine stays safe and effective before it expires. It also helps identify any breakdown processes in the active ingredients, ensuring the medicine continues to meet strict health and safety standards until its expiry date. Sometimes, even tiny amounts of leftover solvents (used in making the medicine) can harm the final product. These solvents, even in very small traces, can affect the stability of the medicine. This webinar will explain how technologies like UV-Vis spectroscopy and Headspace gas chromatography help detect these issues. Key points you\u2019ll learn: Understand why stability testing is crucial for ensuring medicine quality and patient safety Discover how UV-Vis spectroscopy helps monitor the strength and effectiveness of active ingredients Learn how gas chromatography detects leftover solvents and ensures medicines meet safety rules >> Register now to secure your free spot.
