In recent years, falsification of test data has become an increasingly common problem. Various industry associations have issued quality assurance guidelines to prevent cases of data falsification. In order to ensure data reliability and quality assurance, and to obtain accurate data, it is important to prevent falsification and incorrect input in each process involved in materials testing. This webinar introduces the software involved in data acquisition and improving the reliability of data obtained from tests.

Material testing is often carried out with reference to conditions in accordance with various industrial standards. Industrial standards cover a wide range of topics, from definitions of various materials and terminology to test equipment and test methods. Industrial standards describe the conditions required to perform strength tests, such as test speed, specimen shape and gauge length, and whether or not an extensometer is used. These standards may have different requirements for testing the same material. This webinar explains how to set up test conditions according to the various standards and how to read the data from the test results.

Precision universal testing machines are instruments for measuring the strength of materials operated by motors as a power source. Shimadzu offers the AUTOGRAPH Series as a precision universal testing machine product. This webinar introduces the mechanism of a precision universal testing machine, using the AUTOGRAPH Series as an example.

This presentation will provide advice for routine HPLC analysis. This time we will look at baseline fluctuations and problems in reproducibility.

2023-09-05

This presentation will provide advice for routine HPLC analysis. Today, I’ll be talking about abnormal peak shape, particularly the effect of the sample solvent, mobile phase, column temperature and detector response.

2023-05-22

These are the most likely causes for abnormal peak shape. e.g.: Column degradation/ Effect of sample solvent/ Effect of mobile phase composition/ Temperature distribution in analytical column/ Effect of filtration setting in detector We talk about countermeasures for these while showing respective examples.

In recent years, there has been a growing movement to promote alternative methods to animal testing and the EU and a few other countries have even moved to ban the import and sale of cosmetics that have been tested on animals. The Amino acid Derivative Reactivity Assay (ADRA) Method developed by Fujifilm, is an innovative alternative test method for skin sensitization without the use of animals and it was adopted by the OECD in 2019 as a reliable test method. A revision of the Test Guideline (TG) was carried out in 2022, adding an evaluation for the sensitization potential of mixtures by the gravimetric approach and the ADRA-fluorescence method. In this webinar, we will present the technical background of the ADRA method, the use of reagent kits to perform ADRA testing, and our solutions for ADRA analysis that deliver both enhanced selectivity and high-speed testing. Register for this webinar and learn more about how the ADRA method will help you better test the safety of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

Now easily integratable into liquid chromatograph systems, mass spectrometry (MS) is increasingly recognized as an orthogonal detector that adds extra information to UV-based photodiode array (PDA) detectors. Analysis of chemical compositions and/or impurities is a typical application employing both PDA and MS detectors for enriching the information obtained from a single analysis.
