Sentronic PAT Meeting 2024

What can you expect?

We are excited to continue our long-running series of Dresden PAT meetings in 2024! We have scheduled presentations on NIR-based PAT from industry experts, academic researchers, dedicated consultants, and other SMEs working in, on, and with PAT.

The 2024 Dresden PAT meeting will, as always, be an excellent opportunity to learn as well as discuss recent developments and trends in NIR PAT dedicated to applications in pharmaceutical OSD. We look forward to seeing you there!

Do you have exciting PAT developments and insights to share? Contact us today if you would like to present at the meeting!

Feedback from previous meetings!

Read what participants, speakers, and others say about previous Sentronic events and meetings!

"I enjoyed the previous conference very much. The program consisted of carefully selected talks by renowned experts on relevant topics, supplemented by hands-on demonstrations of PAT hardware. The convention provided a nice setting to meet colleagues from other companies, working in the same or adjacent fields.”

Dr. Peter Stöckel, Senior Scientific Expert, Boehringer Ingelheim, Germany

Participant Dresden 2019

"The Sentronic conference is a well-organized and highly enjoyable event. It features a well-rounded agenda with insightful presentations from leading experts on relevant topics. In addition to the technical discussions, the chance to engage in hands-on demonstrations of PAT hardware with vendor representatives is exceptionally valuable. The conference also provides an excellent platform for networking with peers from various companies and industries."

Andrew Anderson, Janssen, Belgium

The Sentronic meetings are always really useful. Good case studies illustrating best practice for using NIR spectroscopy to be successful.

“The NIR PAT meeting was a great opportunity to hear about the latest developments from Sentronic & other users of Sentronic systems as well as meet with and hear about best practices from industry peers.”

Larry McDermott

Participant Lambertville, NJ 2024

"I really like to see the level our events achieved! Starting exactly 20 years ago with a pure user group meeting without a focus to an industry, we established an open forum for PAT in OSD. With the first workshop in the US last year, we even started to get it international. It's really great to work on the preparation for the 2024 Meeting now!"

Program

We are excited for the speaker line-up at this year's PAT meeting! In addition to these experts, we also have Expo Process Analytics providing a feed frame simulator for the trainings and demonstrations on Monday (Dec 2^nd)!

Check back for more updates on the schedule and program! We will regularly update this section.

Monday, December 2nd

A full day of hands-on training, tentatively scheduled to start at 10:00

Practical aspects for PAT implementations in Batch and Continuous Manufacturing
Tips and common user tricks for Sentronic PAT systems
NIR method development using Sentronic PAT instruments: model transfer, limits of detection, noise, stability
Probe types and unit operation simulators such as tablet press feed frame or spiderwheels
Multivariate analysis and chemometrics
...more to be added! What are you interested in? Let us know!

Tuesday, December 3rd

Our full day of presentations will start at 9:00, but will include time for networking. The PAT Meeting will conclude for the day at 17:00. Participants will have time and are encouraged to explore the Christmas markets close to the hotel!
