On-Demand: Ensuring Pharmaceutical Product & Process Quality with Spectrometric Methods
Today's pharmaceutical industry professionals are becoming increasingly interested in technologies that allow them to gain immediate insight into formerly intractable problems such as:
• Surface quality for finished dosage forms
• Distinguishing between one polymorph and another of the same crystalline material
• Size and shape during granulation, mixing and other processes need to be known in real-time
• Materials identification and qualification
• Quality of coatings
• Pre-formulation interactions and stability testing
Which technologies work best for each type of problem? What are the limitations of each technique, where do they overlap and complement each other? How can they be combined and used with other techniques to achieve the best results?
