FT-IR microscopy has established itself as the standard method for the analysis of MPP; it can be applied universally and enables a secure identification of all polymer types. Mapping measurements or FPA imaging allows determining thousands of MPPs in a fully automated manner.
Raman microscopy and imaging offers a straight answer to these questions. It can be employed on the testing of drugs in solid dosage forms, such as tablets and granules.
Raman spectroscopy is one of the most commonly used techniques for materials identification and characterization, delivers a high amount of information on a molecular level and is applicable on almost any kind of pharmaceutical sample.
