Near-infrared spectroscopy in pharmaceutical analysis

Good vibrations - von Dr Alfred Steinbach, Staphanie Kappes

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is based on the absorption of radiation by matter. Not only does the versatile technique allow the parallel identification of substances (active agents, excipients, contaminants), it is also suited to monitor processes such as blending, granulation, and drying.
