How are pharmacopoeial reference standards characterised? How are assigned values (or purity values) established? How are the quality and reliability of the official reference standards at the EDQM and USP ensured? In this webinar we will provide case studies to demonstrate the importance of orthogonal analytical techniques in chemical structure characterisation, impurity identification and value assignment.

The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session, allowing participants to engage  with the speakers.

Don't miss this opportunity to advance your expertise in a critical area of pharmaceutical science.

The webinar will take place on 9 October 2025, from 15:00 to 16:00 (CEST, Paris, France).

• Yu Tang is Director of the Reference Standards Evaluation (RSE) department at USP, which focuses on the reference standard development associated with the documentary standards overseen by USP’s Expert Panels on Small Molecules, General Chapters, Dietary Supplements, Excipients, as well as Food Ingredients. Prior to joining the RSE group, she worked in the Reference Standard Laboratory (RSL) at USP and was involved in reference standard analysis using various analytical techniques. She holds a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from Michigan Technological University, USA.
• Matthias Weber joined the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM) in 2009 as Laboratory Study Director, contributing to expert groups and co-ordinating the establishment of European Pharmacopoeia reference standards. Since 2012, he has led the NMR activities at the EDQM laboratory. Prior to that, he served as Senior Project Manager for Development and Pilot Plant at DSM Pharma Chemicals. He holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Regensburg, Germany.

This webinar will be of interest to professionals from the pharmaceutical industry (analysts, laboratory scientists/technicians, QC/QA managers and regulatory affairs staff) and from organisations that provide contract laboratory services.

This webinar is free of charge.
