TY - CONF A1 - Maiwald, Michael A1 - Colson, K. A1 - Schönberger, T. T1 - The q in NMR – a review of recent international activities N2 - Quantitative NMR Spectroscopy (qNMR) provides the most universally applicable form of direct purity determination without need for reference materials of impurities or the calculation of response factors for all samples exhibiting suitable NMR properties. Broadly accepted validation methods of qNMR spectroscopy gives users tools to exploit qNMR more easily and enables rapid analytical method development and reduce time and financial burdens. The first initiative towards a worldwide agreement goes back to a panel discussion at PANIC 2014 (Practical Applications of NMR in Industry Conference) in Chicago. Since that time, the Validation Workshop takes place each year following the PANIC Conference, last in 2017 with a turnout of over 65 people. The group aims to identifying a network of NMR people concerned with validation that can ultimately assist each other through the validation process, harmonize the terminology and a standard approach for NMR validations and position the guidelines produced by consensus of the NMR community so that accreditation agencies can use this process. The talk briefly summarises the outcome of the former PANIC Validation Workshops (2015, 2016, and 2017) as well as the recent satellite meetings including the qNMR meeting held at Spectral Service in Cologne, Germany (June 2016), a validation workshop at SMASH (La Jolla, USA, September 2016), the qNMR Summit with USP in Rockville, USA (October 2016), the qNMR Summit at BAM in Berlin, Germany (March 2017), and the qNMR Minisymposium at SMASH in Baveno, Italy (September 2017). Upcoming activities will be a qNMR Summit held by JP and JEOL in Tokyo, Japan (January 29th-30th, 2018) and a qNMR Summit at the University of Würzburg, Germany (planned for October 2018). The next PANIC takes place March 4th-8th, 2018 in La Jolla (San Diego), CA, USA.
