Event Overview:

Targeted analysis in complex food and pharmaceutical matrices often requires extensive sample preparation, separation, and method optimization before confident identification or quantitation can be achieved. Molecular rotational resonance (MRR) offers a structure-specific approach that directly identifies and quantifies volatile analytes in the gas phase, reducing workflow complexity while preserving analytical confidence. This webinar will highlight how MRR can simplify impurity and targeted analyte testing across food and pharmaceutical applications, with examples including fortified wine, essential oils, spices, and glycerol. The focus is on rethinking routine analysis around actionable molecular information rather than increasingly complex analytical workflows.

Key Learning Objectives

• Understand MRR basics and how it fits into common analytical workflows.
• Gain insight into how the MRR spectra equals the structure of the molecule.
• Learn how the spectral fingerprint allows quantitation of specific analytes in complex matrices.

Who Should Attend

• Senior Scientists, Directors, and VPs
• Analytical Chemists, NMR, Quality Control, Quality Assurance, Research and Development
