FT-NIR microscope imaging for pharmaceutical tablet characterization
August 25, 2022
Introduction
The use of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in the pharmaceutical industry has grown rapidly in the past decade. The IMV-4000 Infrared Linear Array Microscope with an FT/IR-4000 or FT/IR-6000 instrument with NIR spectral range offers rapid imaging of pharmaceutical tablets, a valuable tool in the quality control of tablet properties, offering measurement data with high specificity and sensitivity. The data can be used with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) chemometric software for the evaluation of component distribution and contaminant identification.
