The Department of Pharmaceutics has organized a “Workshop Series-II Hands-on Training on Chemometric model development and software usage of NIR” on November 09th and 10th, 2023. Mr. Bhanu Prakash R, Principal Scientist, SCIENCE4U Analytical and Research Solution Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore, started the morning session with Hands-on training on the NIR spectrometer. The delegates installed the trial version of the Unscrambler and then had the training session on the PCA model. He explained the spectral data to import, analyze and interpret using the software. The session started the theoretical concept of Multiple linear regression, Principal Component regression and Partial least square Regression model. Then, we had a training session on predicting octane numbers using the PLS method. Finally, the delegates gave the NIR spectra of standard and test samples to analyze the data using the software. We received a good response from the delegates. A total of 20 delegates attended the workshop and gave good feedback.
