ChromSoc Meeting Preview: Challenges in Small Molecule Analysis in the Pharmaceutical Industry

This innovative two-day symposium organized by The Chromatographic Society (ChromSoc) will take place at Chester Racecourse, Chester, United Kingdom, on 19 and 20 May 2022 and will look at the latest developments and challenges in the field of small molecule work with an emphasis on pharmaceutical applications. It will look at a range of topics including: challenges and approaches to impurity profiling, applying QbD to method development, HTS and its role in finding new drug candidates, challenges within environmental analysis, the latest developments in instrumentation/column technology, and discussions on the future of small molecule analysis.

Leading specialists from industry and academia will explain how they apply theory and latest developments to solve very difficult challenges in this area. Instrumentation and consumables will be displayed in a comprehensive supporting exhibition from relevant manufacturers.
