Synopsis

Drug development is a long road with many dead ends to avoid. Part of the journey involves understanding the spatial distribution of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients, investigating final product homogeneity and differentiating chemically similar molecules such as polymorphs, to guarantee product quality and to maximise process efficiency.
To ensure that the correct route it taken, it is critical that engineers and researchers have the best possible instrumentation. Enter Raman imaging microscopy.
This talk outlines how Raman imaging can assist throughout the development and production process, from drug discovery to product formulation and will also touch on post-marketed investigation.
