JPAG Foundations Event: Sampling and Sample Preparation: The Cornerstones of Analytical Strategy and Successful Method Development
Royal Society of Chemistry, London
JPAG is proud to confirm that the next symposium in the successful Foundations series, aimed at early career pharmaceutical analysts will take place on 1st October 2026. The symposium will concentrate on sampling and sample preparation, which underpin the quality of any analytical dataset and are instrumental in achieving success with method development and analytical strategies. From confirming that samples are truly representative, to ensuring that these samples are handled and measured with an appropriate analytical instrument without corrupting or influencing the results, this symposium offers an invaluable opportunity for analytical scientists to strengthen their grasp of the fundamentals of sampling and sample preparation. Engage with experts who will share practical approaches to avoid result bias; unnecessary out of specification results; and ultimately build more control into analytical processes.
If you have a relevant case study that you would like to present as a poster, or a podium presentation, please contact us at team@jpag.org
The symposium will cover the following key topics:
• The strategic role of sample preparation in dictating analytical success in QC and development
• Why it is important to understand how, when and where the sample was taken
• The link between physical properties and the best sample preparation technique
• Automated sample preparation
• Case Studies (oral presentations and posters)
• Vendor Exhibition
