This application note, Raman Microscopy for Pharmaceutical Analysis, gives a complete overview of the pharmaceutical applications of the RM5 and RMS1000 Confocal Raman Microscopes.

Polymorphism is a challenge in pharmaceutical manufacturing because it can reduce the efficacy of treatments. This Application Note shows how Raman spectroscopy can detect subtle spectral differences between polymorphs of the same drug.

This application note demonstrates the benefits of Raman microscopy in pharmaceutical analysis and the role it can perform in assuring the quality and reliability of antihistamine medications.

How can FTIR spectroscopy be used to identify the active pharmaceutical ingredients in antihistamine medications?
Discover how we used the IR5 FTIR Spectrometer with an ATR attachment, to analyse commercially available tablets effectively.

A powerful method for determining the kinetics of a reaction is by monitoring the concentration of the reactants or products over time using stopped-flow fluorescence spectroscopy. In this application note, the kinetics of NATA quenching by QBS are determined using the FLS1000 Photoluminescence Spectrometer equipped with the stopped-flow accessory.

Hand sanitiser needs to >60% ethanol to be effective at killing microbes on your hands. This Application Note details how Raman spectroscopy can be used to create ethanol calibration curves providing a rapid method for ensuring hand sanitisers meet the 60% requirement.

How can Raman microscopy help the battle to quit smoking? Read this latest application note to find out how the RMS1000 can aid pharmaceutical laboratories quality control nicotine patches via 3D Raman mapping.

Forensic investigations often study extremely small samples which may need analysed by multiple techniques. Confocal Raman and Photoluminescence (PL) Microscopy are well-suited techniques for dealing with such samples. This application note details how Raman and PL microscopy can be used as an analysis tool in any forensic laboratory.

Fluorescence anisotropy or polarisation provides a sensitive tool to measure the binding of ligands to proteins when a fluorophore is attached to the ligand. In this Application Note Polarised emission spectra were recorded in an FLS980 Fluorescence Spectrometer equipped with double excitation and emission monochromators.
