Convenient Way to Evaluate Content Distribution in Solid Dosage Forms

Agglomeration of ingredients in tablets is a concern for formulators.

It is typically observed using Raman spectroscopy, an extremely time-consuming technique. This presentation will discuss an alternative to Raman, i.e., "Laser Direct Infrared Imaging", which provides rapid imaging of content distribution in tablets.
