B&W Tek November Newsletter

Advances in Raman throughout the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Process 

The importance of quality control in continuous manufacturing has lead to a rapid increase in the use of Raman spectroscopy. In our latest webinar we explore how Raman spectroscopy is paving the way for innovation in advanced manufacturing techniques, with a presentation by Dr. Douglas Hausner of Associate Director of Rutgers University’s  Engineering Research Center for Structured Organic Particulate Systems (C-SOPS).

New E-Book on the Tools, Techniques and Applications of Raman Spectroscopy

Portable and handheld Raman systems are gradually replacing slow and destructive techniques that have been widely used throughout the pharmaceutical industry. This month, B&W Tek partnered with American Pharmaceutical Review to release a new E-Book highlighting these recent developments in the industry. The E-book features various tools, techniques and applications that use Raman Spectroscopy to perform tasks such as at-line content uniformity, counterfeit detection and raw material identification.

Meet the Team!

Meet Kevin Wu: a seasoned foodie, full time cat dad and the new inside sales administrator at B&W Tek! Kevin is a Delaware native who graduated from Drexel University with a degree in criminal justice. He now uses his 7 years of experience in aviation quality control to give clerical assistance to our account managers and handle logistics for our sales team. It would be an understatement to say that we are excited to have Kevin join the B&W Tek family!

AVS 65 Lunch n Learn – Complementary XPS & TOF-SIMS

AVS 65 Lunch n Learn Complementary XPS TOF-SIMS

Physical Electronics User Reception

AVS 65 – Long Beach, CA

Physical Electronics would like to cordially invite you to join us on
Monday, October 22, 2018 from 8:30-10:30pm at the Hyatt Regency Long Beach in the Beacon Ballroom (Sec. A) for appetizers and drinks
for our annual PHI User Reception. 

WHEN: Monday, October 22, 2018, 8:30-10:30pm(Immediately following Welcome Mixer)
WHERE: Hyatt Regency Long Beach – Beacon Ballroom (Sec. A)
Drinks and Appetizers will be provided.

Please RSVP for the reception by emailing Ben Ellefson 
at  Bellefson@phi.com  by October 19 if you’ll be able to attend. 

For the characterization of polymers and organic-coated surfaces, the combination of two surface sensitive techniques – X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) can be extremely powerful.  XPS provides quantitative analysis and short-range bonding chemistry from elements on the outermost surface while TOF-SIMS can provide the molecular information needed to positively identify organic species and the spatial resolution needed to show their lateral distributions on the sample surface.  This presentation will discuss the complementary attributes of XPS and TOF-SIMS and demonstrate how combining the two is essential to more fully understand organic surfaces.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Webinar: How Extrusion Conditions Influence the Properties of Starch Compounds

Mar 01, 2017 – Mar 01, 2017

You can create better starch compounds by controlling extrusion conditions for food products. This webinar explains how to improve the quality of your final food product by managing the influence of twin-screw extrusion on various product properties.

Background: Starch is a base material for many food products: snacks, cereals, pet food, etc. Yet the gelation process is complex and shaped by many different variables. Processing starch with twin-screw extrusion offers a great flexibility in process design and the opportunity to positively influence products derived from it.

Benefits: Learn how to manipulate processing variables to design a starch matrix that delivers the texture, stability and processability you want. The webinar covers how to choose extruder parameters such as screw set-up, processing temperature and liquid-to-solid ratio to create the desired final food properties. Then see how oscillatory rheometry can deliver the precise analysis needed to ensure a high-quality end product.

SELECTION GUIDE

images17The MicroDamp series often utilizes three to four isolators within a vibration isolation platform, depending on the supported instrument’s dimension profile and overall weight distribution. When paired with a damped top plate (i.e. granite, aluminum, breadboard, etc.), the MicroDamp Series becomes a complete solution for instruments requiring a stable and reliable vibration isolation platform.

To determine the correct isolator configuration for your instrument, review the MicroDamp models below and locate the model able to sufficiently support the weight of your instrument.

Please note: the values listed below are for individual isolators only. To correctly select the relevant model for your instrument, multiply the minimum/maximum load capacities by three to determine the total minimum/maximum load capacities. Your instrument must fall within this range to receive optimal vibration isolation performance. If your instrument’s weight does not fall within this range, multiply the minimum/maximum load capacities by a larger number (>3) until your instrument falls within range.

HELPFUL TIP

For further instruction on the correct configuration for your instrument, contact a Herzan representative and share your instrument’s weight, dimensions, and approximate load distribution. Once that information has been received, a tailored recommendation will be made to ensure your instrument receives maximum vibration isolation performance from a MicroDamp Series platform.
