USP general chapters in 2026: what is still open for comment
The comment window on Pharmacopeial Forum 52(4) closes on 30 September. Here is what USP has out for consultation this year that matters to analytical and process-analytics teams.

Wet-process acid, granulation loops and liquid-fertiliser blending pull in five different analyser families. Which vendors are credible in each, how we screened them, and where the shortlist narrows.
The 40th IFPAC Annual Meeting in North Bethesda centred its March 2026 program on AI integration, continuous manufacturing, and tightening regulatory expectations for advanced pharma production.
Six techniques, roughly thirty vendors. Where inline Raman, NIR, mid-IR, dielectric, ultrasonic, and inline rheology each fit resin and coatings production - and how we screened the field.
The 7th European Conference on Process Analytics and Control Technology runs 4-7 May 2026 at the Cite Centre de Congres Lyon. Three scientific pillars, four confirmed plenaries, and a special focus on integrated AI.
Reactor deposits on the optical window are the main cause of process Raman drift. Comparing probe geometries, window materials, retraction schemes, and cleaning cycles across the leading vendors.
The first half of 2026 delivered mixed vendor earnings, an unusually dense regulatory calendar, and modest conference energy on the process-analytics floor. Here is what moved the needle.
Recap of process analytical talks, awards and sessions from PITTCON 2026 in San Antonio and the analytica conference 2026 in Munich, with verified program details from both organizers.
A companion to the non-ranked Spectrane process Raman buyer's guide. Ten vendors ordered on process-readiness, total cost of ownership, integration depth, chemometric maturity, and application coverage.
Both techniques measure vibrational fingerprints without sampling. Water tolerance, fluorescence risk, probe access, and pathlength decide which one fits your reactor.
A primer on PAT - the FDA-driven framework for measuring chemistry where it happens, why pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturers adopt it, and the tools that make it practical.
Nine vendors, one technique. Where the differences actually matter - multi-channel architecture, probe ruggedization, software ecosystem, and regulatory track record - and how we evaluated them.
analytica 2026 closed in Munich with 35,000 visitors and 1,135 exhibitors. AI and automation drew the loudest applause; the process analytics floor was quieter than the lab side.
Eight vendors, one technique. Where inline NIR differs by interferometer architecture, fiber-optic probe, sampling speed, and chemometric ecosystem - and how we screened the field.
