SAXS in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Short online course

4 & 5 October 2023 14:00–16:00 CEST

Course on Small Angle X-ray Scattering in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Xenocs and BIOSAXS invite you to join our interactive two-day short course focused on the benefits and use of Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) for the pharmaceutical industry.

In addition to showcasing the benefits of SAXS at various stages of the drug development & production processes, we will cover practical workflows and how you can characterize and analyse (bio-)therapeutic systems, APIs and drug delivery systems with SAXS in the lab and at a synchrotron.

Reserve your place today to learn:

  • how SAXS is used during drug discovery, formulation and production processes,
  • what you can gain from the SAXS technique and how it complements analytical workflows,
  • how properties such as overall shape & size, conformational & oligomeric polydispersity, degree of flexibility & stability are addressed with SAXS analysis,
  • how you can characterize your samples with SAXS in your lab or at synchrotron facilities.

On request participants will receive the course materials.
