Free Workshop: Gain Materials Science Expertise for Pharmaceutical Applications of Advanced Sorption Characterisation Techniques

Join Surface Measurement Systems, Biopharma Group, and Imperial College London for a one-day workshop dedicated to advanced analytical techniques supporting pharmaceutical development and manufacturing.


Explore how Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS), Inverse Gas Chromatography (iGC-SEA), and freeze-drying technologies provide valuable insights into moisture sorption, shelf life, stability, amorphous content, hydrate drying, surface energy, wettability, and powder performance.


Hear from experts in academia and industry through technical presentations, application case studies, and live demonstrations. The programme concludes with a guided tour of Imperial College London’s laboratories, providing an excellent opportunity for discussion, networking, and collaboration with pharmaceutical scientists and researchers.
