Troubleshooting Problems in Plastics & Polymers: Presented by Christopher Andren, Senior Director-Technology of Chemir

View Webinar

Chris discusses product failures and quality issues that concern the plastics industry.  He incorporates case studies detailing the analytical approach and techniques used to solve specific challenges.  Issues covered include contamination, physical failures, unknown materials, product liability and patent infringement cases.  He concludes with important factors that manufacturers should consider before outsourcing their laboratory testing.


Defending Pharmaceutical Intellectual Property via Stable-Isotopic Chemistry: Presented by John Jasper, Ph.D., Nature’s Fingerprint and Albert Lee, Ph.D., Chemir

View Webinar

The combination of custom synthesis and chemical fingerprinting has helped pharmaceutical companies better protect their products from counterfeiting, allowing for process and material identification during legal disputes.  Isotopic characterization takes advantage of the highly-specific isotopic rations in raw materials and how they are altered in chemical manufacturing.  John Jasper, Ph.D. and Albert Lee, Ph.D. present real -life applications and the science behind the technique.
