Using NIR to Monitor Lubricant Uniformity in a Granule Blend

Overview:

Researchers from Aspen Pharmacare and Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, South Africa, have developed a method to monitor blending, in real time, by monitoring the change in absorbance of both granule and magnesium stearate lubricant. Krishel Naicker, Gareth Kilian and Johan Olivier describe their method and results.
