Raman Microscopy: An Essential Aid in Characterizing Drug Delivery Products

Overview:

Raman microscopy provides information about molecular organization and crystalline order at the resolution of optical microscopy at the sub micron scale, and is being used to characterize drug delivery materials. This white paper by Horiba Jobin Yvon discusses the mapping of creams, timed-release solids and stents, and how Raman maps provide hyperspectral cubes from which images can be reconstructed that show distribution, dissolution and molecular associations.
