The Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy, referred to as Pittcon, is a non-profit educational organization that organizes an annual Conference and Exposition on laboratory science. Pittcon is a catalyst for the exchange of information, a showcase of the latest advances in laboratory science, and a venue for international connectivity. Proceeds from Pittcon directly fund science education, scholarships, and laboratory improvements.

Nanotechnology has been referred to as potentially being the next technical revolution that could change the modern world. A large portion of the diverse realm of nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on the atomic scale, with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers (nm).
Companies manufacturing parenteral drugs and ophthalmic solutions need to test for subvisible particulates using a liquid particle counter. Parenteral drugs must be tested according to USP <788> or <787> for therapeutic proteins. The globule size of lipid injectable emulsions is tested per USP <729> for both the mean size and the percent > 5µm (PFAT5). Ophthalmic solutions are tested following USP <789>.
Subvisible particulate testing is critical to assess the safety of medical devices, and particulate contamination should be minimized to avoid possible negative health consequences to the patient.
HIGH RESOLUTION PARTICLE SIZE ANALYZERS AND PARTICLE COUNTERS
What is a particle? The simplest definition is a minute portion of matter. Particle characterization is the process of identifying the particle size, particle shape, and surface properties. Analyzing particle behavior is a critical factor for quality control and product performance in many different industries.
