Materials analysis examines the properties, composition, and behavior of materials at a microscopic and macroscopic level. Using advanced techniques such as microscopy, spectroscopy, and chromatography, materials analysts investigate the structure, purity, and performance of various substances. From industrial materials and nanomaterials to battery testing and beyond, this field provides critical insights into the characteristics and applications of materials across industries such as manufacturing, electronics, and healthcare. Explore how materials analysis drives innovation, quality assurance, and product development for a wide range of applications.
In 1997, a group of prominent pharmaceutical companies came together in the form of a consortium with the express intent of developing a new impactor specifically for inhaled and nasal products. The result, the Next Generation Impactor (NGI), was launched in 2000 and subsequently accepted into the Pharmacopoeias in 2005. The NGI has seven stages, five of which are in the range 0.5 to 5 microns plus a micro-orifice collector w…
