Meet the IONIC. Titration, reimagined.

Fertilizer production depends on timely chemical measurements, but reference techniques such as titration and ICP-OES can require sample transport, preparation, reagents, specialized analysts, and significant time before results are available. Raman and near-infrared spectroscopy can provide faster, simpler analysis closer to production while reducing reagent use and cost per measurement. Using examples from phosphate, urea, ammonium nitrate fertilizer production this webinar will explore the development of quantitative spectroscopic methods, from collecting representative production samples and reliable reference data through calibration and independent validation. The session will also examine method transfer and deployment across instruments and production sites. Adam J. Hopkins, Ph.D., Product Manager for Spectroscopy at Metrohm USA, will introduce Raman and NIR fundamentals and the Metrohm products, sampling options, and software used for production measurements. Hannah Schorr, Ph.D., Applications Specialist for Spectroscopy at Metrohm USA, will then present the analytical science behind the fertilizer applications, including how quantitative methods are developed, validated, transferred, and maintained for reliable routine analysis.

BRNe Convergence, taking place November 3-5 in Knoxville, Tennessee, brings together emergency responders, military personnel, researchers, government agencies, and industry leaders focused on chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNe) threats. The conference program features expert speakers, educational sessions, and hands-on workshops, while the exhibition showcases innovative solutions designed to address evolving CBRNe challenges. Attendees leave with valuable insights into new response techniques, best practices, and technologies that can strengthen readiness and resilience in high-risk environments.
