Join us for a dynamic roundtable discussion exploring the transformative impact of digital tools in regulated analytical testing and compliance. With the launch of the ChemisTwin platform and publication of the first regulatory framework defining digital reference standards – the Chapter 11 revision of US Pharmacopeia (USP) – we explore how digitalisation enhances accuracy, streamlines workflows and supports regulatory submissions.

During the hour, our expert guests from industry and academia discuss how novel digital tools could be applied to regulated analysis and how building coalitions can drive industry-wide adoption.

Designed for professionals in regulatory affairs, quality assurance and analytical testing, this webinar offers practical strategies to address challenges and discuss how digitalisation can unlock new frontiers beyond traditional lab boundaries. Watch the recording to learn how experts are shaping the future of compliance and unlocking new possibilities beyond traditional lab boundaries.

During this webinar – broadcast live on 21 April 2026 – you will gain:

Actionable insights: learn how digital tools like ChemisTwin and USP- ID are revolutionising regulated analytical testing and compliance workflows
Collaborative opportunities: ask your questions to industry leaders who are shaping the future of digital compliance – and explore innovative solutions beyond traditional lab boundaries

Yang Liu is a scientific liaison for General Chapters at the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). He earned his pharmacy degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago and previously served as manager of product quality and analytical methods in USP’s Digital and Innovation division, where he evaluated emerging technologies and led development of digital products, including software and databases. He now oversees USP General Chapters covering spectroscopy, process analytical technologies, and digital tools. Liu has authored over 30 peer-reviewed publications and a book chapter, serves as founder and editor of Quantitative NMR Journal, and is an active international speaker and standards expert.

ChemisTwin

Launched in 2023 by Merck, ChemisTwin was the first digital reference materials platform for analytical testing, capable of performing automatic analysis of samples’ purity, identification and degradation of compounds through calibrated algorithm-based digital references. With digital signatures for more than 1,500 reference materials, this automation and calibration tool helps scientists ensure the quality and safety of medicines from the earliest stages of research and development through quality control and quality assurance testing.

USP-ID

Developed by the US Pharmacopiea, USP-ID software combines high-quality chemical reference databases with smart algorithms for one-click, automated solutions by qNMR, giving scientists the tools to identify and quantify complex chemical mixtures.
