Pharmaceutical applications manufacturing, analysis during

The non-destructive character of vibrational spectroscopy techniques, such as NIR, makes them novel tools for in-line quality assurance (100). NIR has been widely used for the measurement of water in various applications (101). NIR can be applied for both quantitative analysis of water and for determining the state of water in solid material. This gives a tool for understanding the physicochemical phenomena during manufacture of pharmaceutical granulation.
