Chemometrics Open Day 2023

Il Gruppo Divisionale di Chemiometria della Divisione di Chimica Analitica della Società Chimica Italiana organizza un appuntamento per l’approfondimento di tematiche di interesse chemiometrico: Chemometrics Open Day – La Chemiometria oggi, che si svolgerà giovedì 9 febbraio 2023 dalle ore 9.00.
Alla opening lecture del prof. Telmo Pievani (filosofo della Scienza, evoluzionista e divulgatore scientifico), seguirà una sessione di presentazioni e testimonianze dell’utilizzo e applicazione della chemiometria in vari contesti industriali ed infine un momento di discussione.

Informazioni e form per la registrazione all’evento sono disponibili al seguente link: https://www.gruppochemiometria.it/index.php/chemometrics-open-day

Identification of photodegradation products of Escitalopram

We have developed a new analytical method for the identification of photodegradation products of Escitalopram, details are published here: Termopoli, V., Consonni, V., Ballabio, D., Todeschini, R., Orlandi, M., Gosetti, F.
