In this session, Dr. Adam Hopkins, Spectroscopy Product Manager at Metrohm USA, will showcase the i‑Raman NxG and i‑Raman Duo, showing what's possible when you go beyond basic identification to get real molecular-level insight. You'll also learn how the new SpecSuite software streamlines exploration work, chemometric method development, and routine deployment in a single 21 CFR-Part 11 ready environment.
Key learning points
- How next‑generation Raman reveals deeper chemical insight: Learn how the NxG platform provides low‑noise, high‑stability spectral performance for functional‑group clarity, subtle chemical changes, and complex mixtures
- What the Duo adds to the NxG: Understand how extended high‑wavenumber coverage (to 4600 cm⁻¹) enables deeper insight into hydration, CH/NH/OH stretching behavior, polymer structure, and formulation changes
- Flexible sampling for real‑world applications: See how fiber‑optic sampling supports both in-situ and traditional ex-situ measurements
- Using Raman for reactions, formulations, and kinetics: Explore real examples from polymers, bioprocessing, catalyst development, and pharmaceutical R&D where Raman provides stable, repeatable spectra ideal for trend analysis
- How SpecSuite connects R&D → Routine: Learn how one platform simplifies modeling, library work, method transfer, and 21 CFR Part 11‑supported routine use
