In the analysis of trace components such as pharmaceuticals, veterinary drugs, and additives contained in biological samples, solid-phase extraction (SPE) is essential for sample preparation. To achieve high-sensitivity and robust analysis, it is important to establish optimal SPE methods; however, method development and condition optimization require significant time and experience, and there is a strong demand for efficiency given the limited development resources. In this webinar, we will introduce specific approaches for constructing optimal solid-phase extraction methods in a short time, as well as strategies for speeding up development using the Andrew+ dispensing system, illustrated with real examples. The content will also be useful for those who are not considering the introduction of a dispensing machine, providing insights into the concepts of solid-phase extraction method development and efficiency improvements. ■ Program - Efficient solid-phase extraction method development - Easy automation of solid-phase extraction tasks ■ Recommended for - Those involved in bioanalysis in the pharmaceutical and food sectors - Those interested in improving the efficiency of solid-phase extraction

In April 2026, the announcement of the nineteenth revision of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia is scheduled. This revision is expected to apply the general testing method "＜2.00＞ General Principles of Chromatography" for the first time to two items: "Dapagliflozin Propylene Glycol Hydrate" and "Dapagliflozin Propylene Glycol Tablets," which will be newly included. Therefore, in this webinar, we will first review the overview of "＜2.00＞ General Principles of Chromatography." Based on that, we will explain the points for accelerating analysis methods utilizing the "changes in particle size and column length of the analytical column" permitted by this testing method, along with practical examples. Additionally, using the testing method for "Dapagliflozin Propylene Glycol Hydrate" as an example, we will also introduce countermeasures for items that may affect test results.

Don't miss the opportunity to participate in this spicy webinar that skillfully tackles these fluorines. Program: ■ Features and overview of cIMS ■ Introduction of ion source options for material sample analysis ■ Examples of structural analysis of organic fluorine compounds Target Audience: Individuals using precision mass spectrometry in various fields such as pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industry.

Due to the diversification and complexity of analysis targets, as well as changes in modalities, HPLC is required to have a higher level of robustness, reproducibility, flexibility, and convenience. Particularly in the analysis of compounds that are susceptible to metal influences, unpredictable sample loss can sometimes occur, making rapid and accurate data analysis difficult and potentially impairing operational efficiency. In this live webinar, we will introduce cases where the analysis results of samples that tend to adsorb metals have significantly improved by using the newly designed Arc Premier HPLC system and Premier columns, which reduce sample adsorption. By avoiding various risks associated with measuring adsorbent samples and improving data quality, we promote increased sample throughput, reduced analysis costs, and enhanced laboratory operational efficiency. Target Audience: - Those struggling with the measurement of samples that tend to adsorb metals - Those looking for low-adsorption LC systems and columns
