Webinar Overview:

Chromatographic analyses (such as impurities analysis, relative substance analysis, or stability indicating methods) rely on skilled analysts to accurately integrate challenging chromatograms and often require complex calculations.
The iterative process needed for accurate measurement and quantitation of low level components may be misinterpreted as evidence of data manipulation. In addition, calculations may require component designations to ensure only true impurity peaks are included in final results, excluding, for instance, system peaks. 

Impurity calculations today may be performed in spreadsheets, electronic lab notebooks, or LIMS systems, which require transfer of data. This data transfer must meet compliance expectations to ensure complete and error-free transmission. 

Users of the Empower CDS may take advantage of tailored calculations to automate many calculations in the CDS, eliminating the challenge of data transfer. In this webcast, viewers will be reminded of the impurity processing capabilities of Empower, including an automated way to calculate ICH impurity values, without the need to export data or leverage Custom Fields.
