Rapid and Reliable Excipient Safety Testing With MRR

Contaminant risks in excipients are rising, but traditional GC-MS workflows are slow and prep-heavy. Learn how MRR spectroscopy enables rapid, reliable quantitation of residuals to protect safety and efficiency.

Event Overview:

Ensuring excipient safety is more urgent than ever. Contaminants like ethylene oxide, acetaldehyde, ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol can have adverse health consequences, and this has led to reinforced guidance for independent container-by-container testing of high-risk excipients. Yet traditional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) workflows remain slow, prep-heavy, and prone to bottlenecks when dealing with viscous matrices.
In this webinar, BrightSpec experts will showcase how molecular rotational resonance (MRR) spectroscopy provides a breakthrough approach for rapid, reliable quantitation of residuals—without the limitations of conventional gas chromatography.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Learn how MRR quantifies residuals, including challenging molecular species.
• Understand the ways that MRR spectroscopy overcomes bottlenecks with no sample prep and direct analysis.
• Recognize how adopting MRR can improve efficiency and reduce operational burden.

Who Should Attend:

• Pharmaceutical industry
  • Analytical and QC scientists responsible for raw material testing
  • Regulatory compliance managers seeking FDA-aligned testing solutions
  • Manufacturing leaders aiming to reduce downtime and ensure supply chain integrity
• Consumer goods
  • Product safety and quality teams working with formulations
  • R&D and analytical scientists evaluating faster, more robust impurity testing methods
  • Corporate compliance officers monitoring excipient sourcing and safety
• Food and beverage
  • Ingredient safety specialists focused on contaminant control in additives
  • Quality managers balancing rapid throughput with regulatory confidence
  • Laboratory directors seeking sustainable, low-maintenance alternatives to GC-MS
