<p><strong>Modern analytical and R&amp;D teams need to do more than quantify a single parameter or identify a problem; they need direct chemical insight. Raman spectroscopy uniquely reveals functional groups, identifies materials, and quantifies real‑time chemical changes, making it a powerful complement to traditional analytical tools. In this webinar, we introduce the next‑generation Metrohm i‑Raman NxG and the i‑Raman Duo, advanced benchtop Raman systems that bring molecular‑level clarity to excipients, APIs, polymers, formulated products, and reaction-monitoring environments.</strong></p><p>Attendees will learn how different Raman wavelengths and sampling interfaces provide insights into chemical, pharmaceutical, biological, and materials applications with real-world examples that illustrate the possibilities form discovery to scale-up. We will demonstrate how full-spectrum coverage with the i-Raman Duo extends measurement capability into the high‑wavenumber CH/NH/OH stretching region, expanding what can be monitored, modeled, and understood with a single instrument.</p><p>Finally, this session will introduce how the new SpecSuite software streamlines exploration work, chemometric method development, and routine deployment in a single 21 CFR-Part 11 ready environment. Whether you’re developing a new process, formulating new chemistry, doing fundamental research, or just wanting to simplify a routine analysis, this session will show how Metrohm’s evolving Raman portfolio delivers deeper insight, greater flexibility, and a more intuitive path from research to routine to process.</p><h4><strong>Who Should Attend?</strong></h4><ul><li>Researchers working with APIs, excipients, polymers, catalysts, or complex mixtures</li><li>Scientists tracking hydration, functional groups, or structural change</li><li>Teams performing reaction monitoring or materials characterization</li><li>Analysts exploring Raman beyond basic identification</li><li>Labs evaluating Raman as a complement to NIR, IR, or wet chemistry</li></ul><h4><strong>Key Learning Points</strong></h4><ul><li>How next‑generation Raman reveals deeper chemical insight</li><li>What the Duo adds to the NxG</li><li>Using Raman for reactions, formulations, and kinetics</li><li>How SpecSuite connects R&amp;D → Routine</li></ul><blockquote><p><strong>Presenter: </strong>Dr. Adam J.

<p><strong>The Agilent Oil and Gas Insights Series 2026 presents three focused webinars showcasing advanced analytical solutions for natural gas and petrochemical applications. The series covers end‑to‑end natural gas characterization — from compositional analysis to sulphur detection and calorific value determination — followed by a deep dive into liquid chromatography workflows for petroleum products using the Agilent InfinityLab LC Series. The final session highlights fast, robust Micro‑GC technologies for mudlogging, hydrogen‑blended gas monitoring, and odorization control. Together, these sessions equip laboratories and operators with the tools to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and compliance across the energy value chain.</strong></p><h3><strong>Part 2: Mud Logging and Natural Gas Solutions for Micro-GC</strong></h3><p>During this session we will present an overview of Micro-GC based solutions for different segments in Natural Gas Analysis. These include solutions for Mudlogging, analysis of (Hydrogen Blended) Natural gas, Odorization Control.</p><blockquote><p><strong>Presenter: </strong>Rob de Jong (Product Manager Micro GC, Agilent Technologies)</p><p>Rob de Jong is Product Manager for Micro GC at Agilent.

<h4><strong>The Problem</strong></h4><p>Lab automation promises speed and scale, but too often it operates without intelligence. Researchers must translate scientific intent into rigid workflows, scripts, and parameters — requiring deep expertise and constant manual intervention. As experiments grow more complex, automation becomes harder to adapt, forcing scientists to rely on guesswork and slowing iteration.</p><h4><strong>The Solution</strong></h4><p>Stuntman brings native AI into automation to fundamentally change how experiments are run. With built-in intelligence, Stuntman allows researchers to describe their intent in plain language and have experiments designed, executed and analyzed end-to-end. Stuntman creates workflows, runs experiments, logs results, and hands data back for AI-driven interpretation – guiding experiments forward with clarity, adaptability, and purpose.</p><h4><strong>The Proof</strong></h4><p>In this webinar, see how Stuntman turns ideas into executable experiments across pharma, biopharma, materials, energy, consumer goods workflows, and more. Learn how Stuntman’s built-in AI enables experiment design, automated execution and rapid iteration — all on a single, integrated platform.</p><h4><strong>Key Learning Objectives:</strong></h4><ul><li>Understand why traditional lab automation struggles to scale with experimental complexity and where intelligence is missing.</li><li>See how Stuntman embeds native AI into automation workflows to translate scientific intent into executable experiments.</li><li>Learn how a fully integrated platform connects experiment design, execution, data logging, and AI-driven iteration across industries.</li></ul><blockquote><p><strong>Presenter: </strong>Ruja Shrestha (Product Manager, Unchained Labs)</p><p><strong>Presenter:&nbsp;</strong>Sara Kobilka (Contributing Editor, C&amp;EN Media Group)</p></blockquote>
