Venue: Webinar
Date: Wednesday 12th November 2025
Time: 14:30 – 15:30
OCCA Weekly Webinars Series 17 continues with "Standardized, Quantitative, Scaleable: Entering a New Era of NMR in the Chemical Industry" presented by Dr. Markus Hecht of Bruker BioSpin GmbH. The webinar will take place via Zoom on Wednesday 12 November at 2:30pm.
Abstract:
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy plays a pivotal role in the development of new chemical products and processes, enabling target identification, structural elucidation, raw material qualification, and in-process control. Historically, access to NMR technology was limited to centralized R&D facilities and analytical centres of excellence. As a result, once initial lab-scale concepts were validated, researchers often had to develop alternative analytical methods for scale-up and deployment, leading to increased costs, extended timelines, and compromises in analytical quality.
The emergence of small-footprint and low-maintenance benchtop NMR spectrometers as well as intuitive, push-button solutions such as Advanced Chemical Profiling has transformed this landscape. These innovations allow for the seamless integration of NMR spectroscopy throughout the entire value chain, from early-stage research to full-scale production. By enabling operator-independent, standardized, quantitative, and scalable analysis, NMR not only accelerates time-to-market but also supports global harmonization of analytical methodologies.
This webinar will explore how NMR is used in the chemical industry from empowering R&D and enabling process control and QC/Manufacturing teams to maintain analytical consistency, improve operational efficiency, and make data-driven decisions without compromise.
