Advancing crystal polymorph screening with infrared approaches

Monday, July 6 at 15:00 BST | 16:00 CEST | 10:00 EDT | 07:00 PDT

Identifying and controlling crystal polymorphism remains a critical challenge in pharmaceutical development, with implications for stability, bioavailability, and manufacturability.

In this SelectScience® webinar, NGK Corporation introduces a novel infrared-based screening approach designed to uncover previously undetected crystalline forms and complement existing polymorph screening workflows. Through case studies, attendees will explore how this technique can strengthen risk assessment and support more robust drug development.

An invited lecture from Professor Etsuo Yonemochi, School of Pharmacy at Narita, International University of Health and Welfare, will provide deeper insight into crystal morphology, examining how crystallization conditions influence crystal habit and how these characteristics impact dissolution, wettability, and downstream processing.
