Sentronic US PAT Meeting 2026

Stay tuned for the next chapter of the Sentronic PAT Meetings!

What began over two decades ago as a user group meeting without a dedicated industry focus has since evolved into a specialized platform for NIR-based PAT in oral solid dosage (OSD) manufacturing.

 

We're excited to pre-announce the next Sentronic PAT Meeting, which will take place on the U.S. East Coast in Fall 2026.

 

In the meantime, feel free to explore a selection of talks from our last meeting in Dresden, December 2024, available below. For a concise overview of the speakers and their topics, check out the official program from the 2024 meeting.
