Raman methods for the quantitative analysis of solid pharmaceutcal

In our laboratory we develop FT-Raman methods for the quantitative determination of pharmaceutics in solid dosage forms.

The FT-Raman methods offer several advantages in comparison to other methods:

• Non-Destructive analysis: Tablets are analysed without any pre-treatment.
  
• Non-Invasive analysis: Pills are analysed through their PVC-blister package. Methods can be applied to on-line monitoring of production lines.
  
• Low analysis time: 30 s are sufficient for acquiring a spectrum region convenient for quantitative analysis.
  
• Good agreement with time consuming official methods.
  
• Simplicity: Methods can be performed by minimally trained personnel.
  

FT-Raman Methods Developed for

• Ciprofloxacin
  
• Acyclovir
